[img src="" caption="" credit="" alt=""]Two Microsoft executives are getting ready to leave the company, for two different reasons. Jeff Raikes, the president of Microsoft's Business Division, has been at the company since 1981 and he's ready to retire. September, 2008 will be his last month at Microsoft, but the 8 months notice doesn't have anything to do with giving the company enough time to find a replacement--one has already been named. Stephen Elop will be taking the reigns of Jeff Raikes. Coming from Juniper Networks as the COO, and additional experience from Adobe and Macromedia, Elop will begin assimilating himself into his new position as soon as next month.
