Microsoft reshuffles executives
C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft announced executive changes within its Platform and Services Division on Tuesday, with longtime top Windows engineer and executive Brian Valentine set to take on a new role once Vista is commercially available.
The software giant said it is restructuring the group to sharpen its technology vision and bolster its response to customers. The changes come amid worries about delays in getting Vista out the door. The next version of Windows is now slated for release in early 2007.
As part of the executive changes, Valentine, senior vice president of the Windows Core Operating System Division, will transition to a new role in another area of the company. He has worked in Windows for the past seven years.
