Re-org at Microsoft relocates UC head to its emerging markets unit
Anoop Gupta resurfaces in the Unlimited Potential Group:
Taking Poole's place at UPG is Anoop Gupta, whose most recent project at Microsoft has met with some success: Unified Communications, the company's strategy to move telephony onto the PC platform where the software industry can have a stake. Gupta is a veteran researcher and educator, having served over a decade at Stanford University as a computer science professor, and thereafter having served Bill Gates as his personal technology assistant.

So Gupta served as BillG's personal technology assistant? Leads a reader to believe he printed out Bill's e-mails and picked up his replacement cell phone batteries.
Can anyone figure out what exactly Gupta did as a PTA?
