I don't want to turn this into a gossip blog, but it's been a slow tech news day, and Seattle P-I blogger Todd Bishop has turned up another interesting detail regarding the perhaps-not-so-sudden ouster of Microsoft CIO Stuart Scott this week. It turns out that Scott's home has been on the market since September. Could be a coincidence, of course, but if not, it paints a slightly different picture than the unusual pronouncement would by itself tend to convey. Most organizations, even if they caught an executive in a particularly grievous breach of policy, would probably tend to take the easy way out if he or she already had one foot out the door. Why make a spectacle?
