Last month, there was talk of restructuring Microsoft. It was reported about the possible unification of the Window s 8 Surface and Windows Phone teams into one division. So far, these rumors have not received any confirmation, but new assumptions have already appeared.It is said that the CEO of the company, Steve Ballmer, is considering a larger-scale reorganization of work in connection with the departure of the former “face” of Xbox
Don Mattrick.Steve is sad, his company is going through a difficult time right now
According to Bloomberg, the head of Windows, Julie Larson-Green, now heads the hardware development department, including work on all devices and the upcoming Xbox One.
Interestingly, another contender for this position was now a former member of the Microsoft team – Don Matrick. He recently left the company and took over as CEO of Zynga.The initial rumors spread thanks to the recently launched Windows Everywhere advertising campaign.
For the first time, the commercial combined the entire range of products manufactured under the Windows brand – Windows 8, Windows RT and Windows Phone.The rumors affected not only Microsoft.
Among other changes discussed, it should be noted that, perhaps, Skype President Tony Bates (Tony Bates) will be engaged in procurement and contractual relations with software developers.We, in turn, can only wonder why Microsoft started positioning its OS as a single ecosystem (which, in fact, is not entirely true) just now.
