Another Microsoft Exec Joins Google

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the just-another-boring-sunday dept.

SirClicksalot writes "CNN is reporting that Vic Gundotra, a 15-year veteran general manager at Microsoft, has left the company to join Google. Gundotra worked at Microsoft as general manager for platform evangelism to get software developers to use Microsoft's software and online offerings. The function he will perform at Google is not yet known, but he will need to wait one year before starting his new job because of a non-compete clause in his contract."

    No, no. "fsck" is a *nix command. Ballmer wouldn't say that.
