Microsoft online leader holds music search patent

When Microsoft hired Qi Lu to run its online business last week, the company trumpted the fact that Lu holds 20 patents.

Patents are far from rare at Microsoft--many developers and researchers hold them--but the online business has typically been led by people with a business or marketing background. That hasn't been working out too well, so they're putting a geek in charge.
