Another reorganization for Windows Division at Microsoft
WinInfo | at | by Mike
With Windows Vista complete and former co-president Jim Allchin out the door, Microsoft is embarking on yet another dramatic reorganization of its Windows Division. The hope is that the company can ship upcoming Windows versions at a much faster pace than happened with Windows Vista, which suffered through numerous delays during its five-year development time.
As part of the reorg, Microsoft corporate vice president Bill Veghte will now oversee the new Windows Business Group and will report to Steven Sinofsky, who oversees the entire Windows Division. Sinofsky will continue to report to Kevin Johnson, Allchin's replacement, who oversees both Windows and Windows Live, Microsoft's flailing online services business.
