Actually you do not know if they are scaling down their marketing because of these cuts. The cuts could easily be done because there is no need to have so much local staff in Europe. When you are a global company like MS, there are plenty of occasions where you have a lot of people doing the same job. Its better to consolidate those position in one area and only have local people needed to implement what is needed within the region.
