Another member of the Microsoft old guard heading for the exit

The Microsoft group tasked with selling its products in the developing world is getting a new leader, as a company veteran heads for the exit.

Microsoft said Will Poole, who previously ran the Windows Client business, is leaving as co-leader of the Unlimited Potential Group [UPG] and retiring this fall "to pursue philanthropic and entrepreneurial interests."

Anoop Gupta, a corporate vice president heading technology policy and education products, will take over at UPG, an effort launched almost a year ago.
