Windows 7 Professional Microsoft hires digital-ide

Microsoft;s employing slowdown hasn;t translated to a total hiring freeze. Among the latest of the Red-Pill poppers is Dick Hardt.Hardt could be the founder and CEO of Sxip Identification. He is recognized for his take around the “Identity 2.0″ concept (and blog with the same name). Identity 2.0, or digital identity,Microsoft Office 2007, is focused on using emerging technologies like OpenID to improve cross-vendor authentication and user security.Among Hardt;s other claims to fame: He founded ActiveState,Microsoft Office 2010 Product Key, an open-source programming language and anti-spam software vendro that was purchased by Sophos in 2003. According to Wikipedia, Hardt also is “credited together with the port with the Perl programming language to Windows, which, at the time, was highly controversial in the open source community.”Hardt is moving from Vancouver, Canada, to the Redmond area. His new title at Microsoft could be “Partner Architect.” He described his new role,Windows 7 Professional, in a posting to the Identification 2.0 site, as:“working on consumer, enterprise and government identification problems. My open source,Office 2007 Professional, open web and digital community experience will continue to guide my thinking. For me, this is an opportunity to work on the identification problems I have been toiling over for the last six years, but now with massive resources.”Hardt said he will remain chair of Sxipper,Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007, a company that makes an identity-management add-on for Firefox.(Hat tip to Nick Katsivelos for the pointer on Hardt.)
