Austin, San Antonio in Running for Massive Microsoft Data Center

Sanford Nowlin writes in The San Antonio Express-News:

Microsoft Corp. is considering San Antonio for a $600 million data center that would bring the tech industry's best-recognized name to the city and generate up to 100 jobs, said two local officials close to the negotiations.

The software giant based in Redmond, Wash., is looking at San Antonio and at least one other city — Austin — for the center, which would store company data on scores of computer servers, said the officials, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the talks.
