Microsoft's Mac Unit Gets New Chief

[HardOCP News]

Microsoft’s Macintosh Business Unit is getting a new head honcho. The Mac unit is working hard to get Office 2008 for Mac out the door by the second half of the year...you know, before it becomes Office 2009.

Eisler replaces Roz Ho, who has led the group for several years. Ho is moving to an unspecified role in Robbie Bach's Entertainment and Devices unit, working on "special projects," according to a Microsoft rep. Eisler posted his own welcome note on Microsoft's Mac Mojo blog, noting that he's a big Apple fan.

Well, whoop-de-freaking-doo. Office 2008 is coming out. So what does it do that the last 10 years worth of Office products don't do?
Well, good luck to him managing those 3 products for Macs. I'm sure it'll be killer.
