Another Microsoft Exec Joins Google

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.

In other news, Microsoft HQ apparently just contacted IKEA for a complete replacement of office furniture. Really though, Google has mastered the art of coaxing people to join the light side.
