Microsoft started off its new-year executive shuffling by promoting longtime Server and Tools unit head Bob Muglia to President, a title he shares with Entertainment boss Robbie Bach and business software chief Stephen Elop.
It's a title elevation for Muglia, whose responsibilities remain the same. It also reflects the growing importance of the server unit, which accounted for $13 billion in revenue in the most recent fiscal year, now making up fully a fifth of Microsoft's total sales.

With Macworld set to start Tuesday, Microsoft is once again moving to portray Apple computers as overpriced compared to PCs, especially in the "midst of difficult economic times."

True or not (and there are indications the rumors might not be true) all the talk of forthcoming Microsoft lay offs seems to be encouraging Wall Street analysts to essentially call for Microsoft job cuts.

The Recording Industry Association of America has dumped the company charged with gathering evidence for use against people accused of illegally sharing copyrighted music, according to a report Sunday in The Wall Street Journal.
As part of its controversial antipiracy strategy, the RIAA had enlisted MediaSentry to search the Internet for evidence of people sharing large amounts of music. The trade group's campaign on behalf of the world's largest recording labels reportedly resulted in lawsuits against about 35,000 people.

Todd Bishop: Marcus Courtney, a one-time Microsoft contract worker, left his job as president of the Seattle-based WashTech technology labor union last year for a new position at the UNI Global Union in Switzerland.

She even approves every single Google Doodle that adorns the search giant's homepages around the world. From being hired as the first female engineer nine and a half years ago to becoming one of the key decision makers at Google, she's come a long way.

Microsoft will embark on a significant cost-cutting initiative in 2009, which might begin as early as this month, to offset a global slowdown in sales.
