Congratulations to Tony Scott, who was just named as the new CIO at Microsoft. Several years ago when I was at InfoWorld and Tony served on our CTO Advisory Council, I had the pleasure of spending time with him shooting pool, drinking beer, and talking about automotive technologies (he was CTO of General Motors at the time). One of my favorite bits of feedback for my InfoWorld column was from Tony, who wrote to me to say he was sending one of my columns to his entire staff.
Good luck, Tony!
