Allchin memo: 'The place to be'
C|Net | at | by Mike
On Tuesday, Microsoft announced a major reorganization, streamlining itself into three new divisions. It also gave notice that Windows chief Jim Allchin would be retiring on the launch of Windows Vista toward the end of 2006. Allchin shared some thoughts on his experiences in a memo to the company's Platform Products Group.
By now you should have seen the mail from Kevinjo (Kevin Johnson, who with Allchin will be co-president of the new Platform Products and Services division) and me to the new organization. I wanted to take a moment and send a note to the "old" platforms team to share some of my private thoughts about this change. I apologize in advance for so much email today.
