Microsoft opens mini-mall at its headquarters

Workers in the entertainment and devices division of Microsoft Corp. no longer have to leave their corporate home for entertainment. Or shopping, banking, massage or a meeting with as many as 1,400 people. As part of the company’s West Campus development in this suburb east of Seattle, Microsoft opened The Commons on Monday with 14 shops and restaurants, as well as a post office, credit union, bicycle repair shop, outdoor soccer field and conference center. – from King5
