First Scoble, then Gates, then Scoble’s boss: Niall Kennedy reports that Vic Gundotra, the guy responsible for building Channel 9 (and 10), is leaving Microsoft to work for Google. Gundotra will be taking a year off in order to let his non-compete clause with Microsoft run out safely.

This is huge news, and I expect it to be the rage of the blogosphere tomorrow. Steve Ballmer is probably kicking himself in the forehead right now.
