eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft continues to woo top Lotus software developers to its ranks.
Among its most recent hires are two former Lotus developers, Julio Estrada, who joined Redmond's ranks in June as software architect in the Exchange Server Group; and Bob Congdon, hired in July as an Exchange design engineer also in the Exchange Server Group, according to Microsoft spokeswoman Michelle Hinrichs.
Estrada formerly served as lead architect for Lotus Domino Web Server and Lotus QuickPlace collaboration technologies, after which he founded collaboration vendor Kubi Software Inc. in 2001 in Lincoln, Mass. Mark Rankovic has now taken the reigns as CEO and President of Kubi.
