Well, Microsoft has maintained the development teams in Norway, so there's that. And Opera didn't wait to be purchased to dump a bunch of people in Oslo. I can't really speak as to the Trolltech and Tandberg jobs, though.

I'd rather say this is not just Opera side has moved on, many people left Opera before the several rounds of layoffs, and some choose not to stay even when they are offered a new position (myself included).
