Summary: Former Softies drill into the competition
THE ONGOING Microsoft exodus included
this departure which was long coming. Jawad Khaki
is finally leaving the company,
Jawad Khaki, a longtime Microsoft executive who was an early member of the Windows NT development team, is leaving the company at the end of the month.
We have already
seen Jawad Khaki in antitrust correspondence.
There is another interesting move however. Gerri Elliott
quit Microsoft several months ago after she had damaged Free software and GNU/Linux adoption. We mentioned her also in [
1,
2,
3,
4,
5] where concrete examples were given. Well, it turns out that she is
landing in Juniper now.
Gerri Elliott, who left Microsoft in January after leading the Worldwide Public Sector division for nearly eight years, landed a job at Juniper Networks as executive vice president of Strategic Alliances, Juniper announced Tuesday.
Now so long ago, Juniper
had installed a Microsoft executive as CEO and we
saw possible impact. What will be
the future impact of Microsoft people running Juniper? It is worth watching closely what happens there.

You might want to watch the terminology:
Another Microsoft Executive Penetrates Juniper
It sounds like cheap porn.

I only later realised that Gerri had a longer career at IBM (about 20 years in Big Blue).
