RayOzzie is now more famous in Nov05 for his leaked memo, a situation review for
MicroSoft and its directions.
A copy of the purposefully leaked email can be found at
http://www.scripting.com/disruption/ozzie/TheInternetServicesDisruptio.htm It is clearly intended to be nothing but advertising -- i.e., its purpose as an objective "situation review" is questionable -- but it may be interesting as an insight into Microsoft's marketing strategy.
In late 05 Ray became the one of three people to hold the title of
ChiefTechnicalOfficer at Microsoft.
In 2006, he took on the role of Chief Software Architect, the position previously held by
BillGates.
He was previously the head of
GrooveNet before its acquisition in 05 by MS, and before that the architect of
LotusNotes.
Ray is said to bring into MS expertise in internet and peer-to-peer collaboration.
