| If it's been censored, it was done so well that the note never got entered
in the first place. First I've heard of such a rumor. It also seems
unlikely - Microsoft likes to keep everything in Redmond.

| I heard that rumor...
I also heard that Oracle was buying MK02.
Frankly, I don't believe either one. (But I won't mind if I'm wrong :-)

| 3488.5 | RUMOURS! (WITH SOME TRUTH...) | SOLVIT::CARLTON | | Fri Nov 04 1994 16:17 | 11 |
| Amazing rumours here... actually what's true is that MKO2 is being put
on the block (what isn't, these days...). Realtor and business/broker
and technician/types have been looking over the property while
Facilities prepares plans to vacate it and sell, lease, or at least
mothball it... I've heard the asking price is @ $15M. Most folks will
be squeezed into MKO1. I'd expect MKO2 to be void of any substantial
number of digital employees by the end of this FY (June). And we just
opened the new access road to the new Camp Sargent Rd. bypass a few
weeks ago...!

An attractive selling point, no doubt.

| 3488.7 | where will we go? | NRSTA1::HORGAN | Tim Horgan | Fri Nov 04 1994 18:14 | 5 |
| ...and we've heard that when Digital moves out of MRO3 (yes, 03) our
possible new homes (or for those that are still here) would be MKO or
MSO. Sounds like our options may be dwindling. Bummer.

Tim,
Didn't we just move *out* of MSO?

| The Mill is MLO.
MSO is Powder Mill Road.

Correct, and PKO is Parker street.
(As far as I can tell by a "parking lot inspection", MLO has
plenty of space available, probably suitably configured for
computer systems engineering and services :-}, whereas MSO I
think is full or at least committed. MSO2 is the building
our group just moved out of into MRO3.)

| 3488.11 | I probably misread the intent of .8 | ANGST::BECK | Paul Beck | Sun Nov 06 1994 18:40 | 21 |
| My point may have been a misinterpretation of the following, which I
interpreted as you asking if we [Digital] didn't just move out of
the Mill. It *looked* like you took MSO to be the mill. (On
re-reading, I can come up with alternate interpretations...)

| 3488.13 | Get the rumor straight! | LOCH::SOJDA | | Wed Nov 09 1994 17:51 | 7 |
| No, No -- its not MKO, its supposed to be BTO...
Last summer there was a rumor, supposedly corroborated by someone in
the VT Dept. of Labor, that Microsoft was interested in acquiring the
former Burlington plant as a distribution center.
Of course, this never materialized and BTO still stands empty.

| 3488.14 | latest rumor about MKO2 | MKOTS3::DIONNE | | Tue Jan 31 1995 16:14 | 6 |
| well, I was told last week by someone who is located in MKO2 that
their group was told they would be moving in the next couple of
months, over to MKO1 because the final sale papers had been signed
the previous day. The buyer was either AT&T or Nynex.
Think there's even the tiniest truth to this?
|
| 3488.15 | MKO2 is definitely closing | EPS::PULIAFICO | John - alias jp - MKO2 2/J4 - dtn 264-0547 | Mon Feb 13 1995 17:22 | 6 |
|
We just received the official word. MKO2 will be vacated by the end of
Q4 FY95. Employees are to be moved to MKO1 and ZKO. The memo states the
reason is "to reduce infrastructure cost and improve space utilization". No
mention of a sale to anyone. Of course, that doesn't mean anything.
