Clemens Vasters, a longtime "friend" of Microsoft, will soon be joining the software giant to work on the upcoming communications platform for the Vista operating system.
Vasters, who is the co-founder and chief technology officer at Microsoft partner Newtelligence AG, of Korschenbroich, Germany, will join Microsoft in Redmond, Wash., as the Community Program Manager on the WCF, also known as Indigo.
Vasters will assume his new role as of February 1, sources said.
"Microsoft is continuing to somehow lure the best and the brightest in the different fields to come and join the mother shipeven when they have been successfully running their own companies," said a source familiar with Vasters' situation.
