Microsoft Names New President Of Server Business

From CRN: Microsoft said Monday it has promoted longtime executive Bob Muglia to president of the company's server and tools business. Muglia's new title makes him one of only four divisional presidents at Microsoft. It is a recognition of his contribution to the company's growth, Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said in a memo to employees.

As senior vice president, Muglia helped build Microsoft's server and tools business from "virtually nothing a decade ago" to worth more than $13 billion last year, Ballmer said.

The server and tools business, which makes it money mostly from Windows server operating systems and related services, now accounts for 20 percent of Microsoft's total revenue, Ballmer said. Microsoft earned $60.4 billion in revenue for its fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
