A tour inside Microsoft's Redmond campus

New Delhi, Aug 9: Microsoft has a gorgeous and sprawling corporate headquarter, located at One Microsoft Way in Redmond, Washington - a testament to the company's size and power. Microsoft's main campus straddles the highway for almost two miles and its buildings enclose almost 10 million square feet of office space with an estimated strength of over 40,000 people.
