[HardOCP News]

Microsoft has completed almost all of the 18,000 job cuts it announced earlier this year.

With another 3,000 positions cut today, Microsoft's protracted series of layoffs is now at an end, according to GeekWire. A few more jobs may still be cut in early 2015, but the largescale redundancies are over.
