Microsoft restructures groups as Terry Myerson leaves the company

Microsoft Services Agreement issues

Microsoft Services Agreement issues

Other new features rolled out in this update include the use of Microsoft Cloud to enhance organisation-wide search, more efficient content delivery, and enabling modern communities. "Terry has been instrumental in helping me arrive at this new organizational structure", said Nadella. He oversaw its Exchange and Windows 10 products. In addition, Microsoft is creating an AI Perception and Mixed Reality group, to be led by Alex Kipman.

With Myerson's departure, Panos Panay will step up to the title of chief product officer.

Nadella's explanation for what he put under Guthrie was laden with industry jargon, but the point is to allow Microsoft to offer its apps and services via the cloud to everything from mobile phones to corporate servers.

In the future, the company said it will also add organisational data types backed by the Microsoft Graph to Excel, which will intelligently enhance spreadsheets with even richer content.

"While there is great opportunity, ensuring we always act responsibly for our customers and partners will continue to be a hallmark of our work", Nadella wrote. Jason Zander was promoted to lead the Azure team as Executive Vice President, Azure.

We fixed an issue resulting in not being able to change the display resolution when there were 4 or more monitors connected, due to the confirmation prompt hanging when you selected "Keep changes". The Windows devices team combines with Office software, with the goal of building laptops and tablets that appeal to users of Microsoft's applications, including its Word and Excel programs and newer tools like email and Skype. XD Huang, Yu-Ting Kuo and their teams will join this group, as well as Gurdeep's Ambient Intelligence team.

Kim Jong Un to meet South Korean president at border
Trump agreed this month to accept an invitation to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The first inter-Korean summit took place in 2000, followed by the second in 2007.

Myerson will leave Microsoft with Windows 10 approaching 700 million users, Xbox One running a Windows 10 core plus Surface and HoloLens looking good as devices pushing innovation. Eric Boyd was assigned as lead of a new team called "AI Cognitive Services & Platform".

The reorganization is "really doubling down on the cloud as the fundamental platform for Microsoft", said Ed Anderson, an analyst at Gartner.

The existing AI and Research Group, which was formed in 2016, will remain under the watch of Executive Vice President Harry Shum.

"Among other steps, we are investing in strategies and tools for detecting and addressing bias in AI systems and implementing new requirements established by the GDPR", Nadella said of the new project.

What this ultimately means for Microsoft and Windows remains to be seen.

Nadella told employees he would be releasing more plans around the re-org next week in a special company Q&A session.
