New public sector unit will focus heavily on combating Linux. As Microsoft's fiscal 2004 kicks into full swing, the Redmond software company is continuing to hone its organizational structure. One change likely to be announced soon is the merger of Microsoft's U.S. government operations with its education services business, according to one Microsoft vice president.
"We are increasing our staff across EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa) and to integrate government and education. The goal is to do something similar in the U.S.," said Pete Hayes, vice president, public sector, for Microsoft EMEA.
