Microsoft to buy Groove Networks -- and Ray Ozzie to become Microsoft CTO?
This sounds too weird to be true but seems legitimate. Other news outlets are reporting the same news. The Groove website and Microsoft website have the same story.
What will become of Gates in all this? Will Bill retire even more or is this a sign of more control -- the reports indicate that Ozzie will report to Gates? Ballmer -- where does he fit in all this?
Even weirder-- this quote from the Microsoft site:
"PressPass: You will be one of three Microsoft chief technology officers, along with Craig Mundie and David Vaskevitch, What do you think you bring to the role of CTO, Ray? "
Three CTOs -- isn't that stretching the meaning of "chief" a little?
