Borland Software has named Tod Nielsen as its president and CEO, four months after the previous chief executive left following poor financial results.
Opening a new chapter in its rivalry with Google, Microsoft on Tuesday sued the search giant and a former Microsoft executive that Google had tapped to run its China operations.
Another senior Microsoft official is heading for greener pastures. Tod Nielsen is the latest in a string of high-profile departures from the software maker. He's going back to being an entrepreneur.
Paul Maritz, once considered in the running to succeed Chairman Bill Gates and President Steve Ballmer at the top of Microsoft, is giving up most of his operational responsibilities, becoming the latest senior executive to opt for a less-pressured role at the software company.
Chris Peters was vice president of Microsoft's Office division, responsible for 400 software developers and more than US$4 billion in annual revenue. Last year, he startled his colleagues by taking a leave of absence to train for a new career -- pro bowling.
