The backstory: Peter Moore leaves Microsoft for EA

Dean Takahashi, technology columnist at the San Jose Mercury News, has the most mature and in-depth writeup I’ve seen on Peter Moore’s departure from Microsoft’s (MSFT) Xbox team to healm EA Sports (ERTS). Dean even includes the subtly gleeful press release Sony (SNE) issued when news of Moore’s departure broke. Separately, he’s got the text from a breezy interview with Moore in April; it’s a fun read in light of the recent news.
