Microsoft is going through ground-breaking changes. Terry Myerson, the man behind Windows’ growth so far, has resigned. Myerson’s departure also marks the end of WDG (Windows Devices Group) from the company’s portfolio. The WDG is no more and the group is being split into “Experiences and Devices”, which will be led by Rajesh Jha, Executive VP of Microsoft. Jha is a relatively unknown name in the industry.
Furthermore, WDG’s other segment is being moved to Cloud+AI, which is to be led by Scott Guthrie, another Microsoft veteran. The move was first reported by Mary Jo Foley, who’s known to be accurate with information on Microsoft.
What’s even more interesting is that Windows and Azure platforms are being merged under Jason Zander, who will be in charge of Roanne Sones, manager for Strategy and Ecosystem for Microsoft.
