Microsoft today announced they've bought land (260 football fields) in Sweden on two nearby locations.

@amirm, new European Datacenters?

Very very likely

If it is remote area and there is good infrastructure there as far as power and telecommunication, then likely it is data center. The cooler climate is an advantage there.

All of Sweden is a remote area ;-) ... with cheap power & excellent telecomm also Amazon will open their new datacenters in Sweden in a few days, Facebook been here for a few years.

And the Swedish girls are a fun distraction for the geeks running the data centres.
