Raikes: What's next for the Microsoft Office unit?
MS-Watch | at | by Mike
While Microsoft's Office team will miss Office development chief Senior Vice President Steven Sinofsky, the unit won't go astray without its head taskmaster.
Microsoft Business Division Jeff Raikes -- who is addressed the 7,000 Microsoft customers and partners attending the company's Convergence conference here on March 26, -- told Microsoft Watch that he expects to announce Sinofsky's successor some time "in the next few months." While Raikes wouldn't name names, the new Office chief will come from inside Microsoft, he said.
