C|Net | at | by Mike
If anyone has a right to complain about buggy Microsoft products, it's Ron Markezich, the software maker's chief information officer. In addition to managing the company's tech gear, Markezich and his department function as a test bed for new Microsoft products. So since taking over as CIO last spring, Markezich has had a busy time of it. First, he moved Microsoft's entire network to Windows XP Service Pack 2. Nowadays, he's in the midst of testing out new versions of SQL Server and Visual Studio.
