A Microsoft executive with a "substantial role" in the company's MSN division has resigned. Hadi Partovi, general manager of the MSN portal, plans to leave Microsoft to start his own company, Microsoft spokesman Lou Gellos said Tuesday. He will remain with the company for a few weeks as Microsoft seeks a replacement, Gellos added.
Partovi's resignation, first reported in the Seattle Times, comes about a month after Microsoft initiated a companywide reorganization that folded the MSN unit into the Windows division of the company.
