"Before joining Google, he was a general manager at Microsoft.[3] He joined Microsoft in 1991 and eventually became General Manager of Platform Evangelism. His duties included promoting Microsoft's APIs and platforms to independent developers and helping to develop a strategy for Windows Live online services to compete with Google's web-based software applications.[4] Gundotra joined Google in June 2007, after taking a one-year delay working on charitable endeavors[which?] due to a Microsoft employee non-compete agreement."
- yapcguy 13y agoMaybe he never left Microsoft? Maybe his true mission is to keep tabs on Google and given the opportunity, create long-term strategic blunders?
- scholia 13y agoNo, but Google has quite a few ex-Microsoft staff. I wonder if they are able to get away with things at Google that they couldn't at Microsoft? ;-)
