C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft said Friday that it has hired Internet executive Steve Berkowitz to head its MSN and Windows Live efforts as part of the company's continued push to offer more online software and services.
Berkowitz, the former Ask Jeeves CEO, has been serving as head of InterActiveCorp's search business since the Barry Diller-backed company acquired the search company for $1.85 billion last year. His naming comes after Microsoft last month reorganized the Microsoft unit that handles the Windows operating system, Windows Live and MSN.
