Microsoft CIO Booted

[Gigacore]

Microsoft has fired Chief Information Officer Stuart Scott, providing the terse explanation that he was dismissed for the "violation of company policies."

In a statement, the Redmond, Wash.-based software giant said his dismissal came as the result of an internal investigation. The company wouldn't provide details about what policies were violated or how.

Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people ) said General Manager Shahla Aly and Corporate Vice President Alain Crozier will take over Scott’s duties until a replacement is found.

Scott joined the company in July 2005, according to a memo on Microsoft’s Web site. Scott previously spent 17 years at GE, where he was chief information officer for several divisions. CIO Magazine named him one of the top 100 CIOs in 2003.
