Sandy Gupta Shows Up - Working at Microsoft - Updated

By Pamela Jones et al.

Guess where Sandeep Gupta landed after he left SCO? If I put a blindfold on you and told you to point on the map, you'd still guess Microsoft, wouldn't you? And you'd be right. From January, that is where he found a soft landing, as Director, Technical Competitive Strategy of the Server & Tools Division. The company that got him the gig say they are simply thrilled to have placed him there:

"Sandy Gupta is the kind of technology expert that Microsoft prides itself on having inside the company. We could not be more pleased with Sandy coming to Redmond," said Jim Krouskop Partner, Laurel Group.

I think that means they maybe didn't read his affidavits/declarations in the SCO mess, specifically in SCO v. IBM. Or that Microsoft did, for you cynics out there. Would you like to see the Laurel Group's press release about this placement? Here you go, and for history's sake, I'll reproduce the meat of it here also.
