Ina Fried has the full story at CNET, but here’s the net:
Now that Senior VP Steven Sinfosky moved from Office to run a major portion of Windows and Windows Live development, he has brought in a number of his previous Office associates:
- Julie Larson-Green who was in charge of the Office 2007 users interface, will head program management for Windows Experience
- Grant George who led Office testing, will do the same for Windows
- Arthur DeHaan moves over from Office to run testing for Windows Live
and a related move:
- Chris Jones who currently heads Vista client development work, will move to shift to “overseeing the ‘Windows Live Experience’ program management” when Vista ships
Separately, Microsoft is creating a new unit within its Mobile and Embedded Devices business call the Consumer Media Technology Group to be headed by Corporate VP Amir Majidimehr which will “deliver Microsoft digital media technology to mobile operators and consumer electronics manufacturers, and owns Microsoft’s digital rights management and advanced media strategies, including HD DVD.”
