Rumor Has It: FRx Office Closing

Rumor has it that Microsoft may be closing the Denver FRx office within the next few months. (Background: FRx began its life in Denver, then was acquired by Great Plains which in turn was acquired by Microsoft. A year or two ago, FRx Software Corporation was merged into Microsoft Corporation, but it has always maintained its Denver office.)

It sounds like the jobs, but not necessarily the people, are moving to Fargo. This is quite significant because Denver is where the developers live, as well as higher tier tech support.

This team is working on FRx SP11, but they’re also working on Management Reporter, getting it ready to ship next year. If they all lose their jobs, what happens to these plans? Is MR delayed? Or maybe it doesn’t ship at all? I have no idea. I’d love to know.
