If Microsoft really wants to convince the world it's serious about the Internet and doesn't just see it as another cash cow then perhaps Microsoft could actually put some real technology and business structures in place to hire teleworkers en masse. Whilst there are a lot of computing jobs in Scotland (we make more computers per head of population than any other country) there is still a lot of pressure to move "down south" (=London area) or to the US to advance careers. If I could do that and not move, I would be a lot happier and more productive. A company which implemented teleworking large scale would gain a vast amount of first hand experience which could in turn be sold on to other companies considering teleworking to any degree. Has anyone got any statistics on how much more productive the average teleworker is over the average office worker? 10 years ago I was working for Digital and they did a small amount of teleworking, but it was fairly small scale.
