His push failed though, as Microsoft did not actually make the purchase of Yahoo Inc. in the end.

Kevin Johnson will be stepping down as president of Microsoft’s platforms and services division where he runs online service business, as well as Windows software for personal computers.

He will leave Microsoft to go and run network services provider Juniper Networks Inc.

Microsoft will be splitting the division run by Johnson into two groups from this point forward, both under Steve Ballmer.
