Forget Microsoft - Acorn, ARM, and many others have been in Cambridge
for years, also Sun and Oracle have/are setting up offices there too.

Acorn are already in Cambridge, and are actually a British company.
Why not support their innvoative technology like the StrongARM, RiscPC,
Network Computer, Set Top Box (and the diTV trial).
