Microsoft's Mac unit is getting a new boss.

The software maker said on Friday that Craig Eisler, a former Softie who rejoined the company in February, will take the helm of the Macintosh Business Unit, as the company works to finish Office 2008 for Mac in time for a release in the second half of the year.

Eisler replaces Roz Ho, who has led the group for several years. Ho is moving to an unspecified role in Robbie Bach's Entertainment and Devices unit, working on "special projects," according to a Microsoft rep. Eisler posted his own welcome note on Microsoft's Mac Mojo blog, noting that he's a big Apple fan.
