Microsoft is announcing another big reorganization today, pushing the company’s Windows operating system in a different direction. Windows chief Terry Myerson, a 21-year Microsoft veteran, is departing the company as Microsoft seeks to unify its artificial intelligence and core Windows OS components into a single team. That new team will be headed by Scott Guthrie, who’s currently in charge of Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform. Microsoft’s AI work, headed up by Harry Shum, will also move into this single team.
Microsoft is creating a separate division dubbed “Experiences & Devices” that will look after Windows client releases that you see on laptops and devices, first-party apps, Office 365, and Surface hardware. Rajesh Jha, previously an Office executive, will be leading this new team as Terry Myerson departs in several months time. The Xbox unit is remaining the same, with Microsoft’s overall gaming efforts being led by Phil Spencer.
Panos Panay, Microsoft’s Surface chief, is now Microsoft’s Chief Product Officer for the company’s first-party devices like Surface and HoloLens. Joe Belfiore is also remaining under the main Windows team, running experiences for PCs and devices. Belfiore will be responsible for sharing more of the Windows roadmap at the company’s Build developer conference in May.
