Microsoft has grabbed another Yahoo! executive.
Operations VP Kevin Timmons becomes the latest to swap Yahoo! purple for Microsoft blue. In his new role, Timmons will lead a datacentre services team, Microsoft infrastructure services general manager Arne Josefsberg said in a blog posting.
In February, Microsoft announced it was hiring Larry Heck, another VP from Yahoo!. Other defectors include Microsoft online unit chief Qi Lu, along with Sean Suchter and Scott Moore.
Microsoft has said it no longer wants to acquire all of Yahoo!, although some sort of search partnership between the two companies is still a possibility.
At last month's D: All Things Digital conference, Yahoo! CEO Carol Bartz confirmed the two companies continue to talk but analysts say a deal is looking less likely.
