Microsoft reorg finally combines Zune and Xbox
WinInfo | at | by Mike
Microsoft last week quietly made some organizational changes to its Entertainment and Devices (E&D) business unit, which is responsible for such lackluster performers as Windows Mobile, Windows Media Center, Zune, and MediaRoom, as well as the Xbox 360. This reorg isn't terribly dramatic, but it does position the software giant to consolidate its consumer-oriented online services, as previously promised.
Before this past week, Microsoft maintained an Interactive Entertainment Business group within the E&D unit that focused on the Xbox and Windows gaming product lines. And there was a TV, video, and music group that focused on Windows Media Center, Zune, and MediaRoom.
