Seattle PI | at | by Mike

Three high-ranking executives are leaving Microsoft as part of the company's latest shake-up in its top management.

Those departing include a senior vice president in Microsoft's unprofitable Internet unit and the marketing executive who oversaw the introduction of the company's Windows Vista operating system. Also leaving is the longtime chief of Microsoft's Windows Mobile division.

The company confirmed those exits Thursday as it promoted and reshuffled executives across its product groups.
