So MS has a shiny brand new campus in France! But still no dev teams... 
Would anyone have any idea wether they plan to open R&D facilities in France?

Same in Belgium: they have sales and consulting teams, and evangelists that organize MSDN sessions and other events, but no active developers. I think it makes sense. Why would they need developers spread all over the world? What would be the advantages?

Also in Dublin (localisation) and Copenhagen (Dynamics).

Because you can only hire so many good developers in each country. At some point you're just filling seats.

Of course it was fun. You were in Belgium.
What kind of gig was it? Recently or a long time ago?

Only was a day trip, but 2 days prep creating a Silverlight security workshop from scratch.

A bit more than "a little" in Ireland. It's the biggest Microsoft dev facility outside of Redmond.

Not to mention North Dakota (Dynamics) & North Carolina (VSS & TFS IIRC).

It's quite understandable they don't have a dev team in France.
If we can believe “Flight of the Conchords”, France is still stuck in the 70s:

I would have thought at least China beat Dublin. And maybe even India.
