Microsoft Announces Leadership Changes to Drive Next Wave of Products

Cristian_25H · Nov 13, 2012, 04:54 AM

Microsoft Corp. today announced that Windows and Windows Live President Steven Sinofsky will be leaving the company and that Julie Larson-Green will be promoted to lead all Windows software and hardware engineering. Tami Reller retains her roles as chief financial officer and chief marketing officer and will assume responsibility for the business of Windows. Both executives will report directly to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

These changes are effective immediately.

Julie Larson-Green

"I am grateful for the many years of work that Steven has contributed to the company," Ballmer said. "The products and services we have delivered to the market in the past few months mark the launch of a new era at Microsoft. We've built an incredible foundation with new releases of Microsoft Office, Windows 8, Windows Phone 8, Microsoft Surface, Windows Server 2012 and 'Halo 4,' and great integration of services such as Bing, Skype and Xbox across all our products. To continue this success it is imperative that we continue to drive alignment across all Microsoft teams, and have more integrated and rapid development cycles for our offerings."

"It is impossible to count the blessings I have received over my years at Microsoft. I am humbled by the professionalism and generosity of everyone I have had the good fortune to work with at this awesome company," Sinofsky said.

Since 1993, Larson-Green has worked on and led some of the most successful products for Microsoft, including the user experiences for early versions of Internet Explorer, and helped drive the thinking behind the refresh of the user experience for Microsoft Office. For Windows 7 and Windows 8 she was responsible for program management, user interface design and research, as well as development of all international releases. She has a master's degree in software engineering from Seattle University and a bachelor's degree in business administration from Western Washington University. In her new role she will be responsible for all future Windows product development in addition to future hardware opportunities.

"Leading Windows engineering is an incredible challenge and opportunity, and as I looked at the technical and business skills required to continue our Windows trajectory — great communication skills, a proven ability to work across product groups, strong design, deep technical expertise, and a history of anticipating and meeting customer needs — it was clear to me that Julie is the best possible person for this job, and I'm excited to have her in this role," Ballmer said.

Reller joined Windows in 2007 from the Microsoft Dynamics Division where she held a number of leadership positions. She began her career in technology at Great Plains Software in 1984 while still in college, and was the company's chief financial officer at the time the company was acquired by Microsoft in 2001. She has a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Minnesota State University Moorhead and an MBA from St. Mary's College in Moraga, Calif. In her expanded role she will assume the lead in driving business and marketing strategy for Windows devices, including Surface and partner devices, in addition to her current marketing and finance responsibilities.

She's responsible for ie 4 5 6

She's responsible for ribbon bar

She's responsible for START missing in action

Ie 4 5 6 were before I used computers regularly. I have only heard tales of their horror.

The ribbon bar is actually pretty good. Once you learn where they moved stuff it really is nice. I wish it would disappear or something unless the mouse was over it.

I think the start button being gone is debatable. I use it. Some don't.

The start menu was good in 1995 when you had at most a dozen programs installed on your PC. Now, with my computer having over 100 programs installed, a tree menu like the classic start menu becomes a mess. The future of computer navigation is search because there is so much data that navigating these complex trees, even ones such as folder structures, becomes a nightmare.

remixedcat · Nov 13, 2012, 07:08 AM

I rarely use my start menu.... I only use it for shutdown or to sometimes bring up the cmd window or something

Excluding IE 6 late in its life, the UI for IE has never been horrible (when viewed in comparison with its competitors at the time). It was just the code powering it that let it down. If she was only responsible for the UI, then I don't see that as a negative.

Completely Bonkers · Nov 13, 2012, 07:38 AM

^fair enough. My comments were not a direct criticism of the choices she made, but a reaction to "Mrs Windows 9" being the same person that brought us other software "with scandal/huge debate/kickback" attached. In reaction to the MILF comment, this lady isn't just sexy, she is controversial... and might bring all sorts of changes as a result of being able to pushover a few men.

I'm sure we will all be watching her closely

I don't even use that part. I only use the right side. I prefer just a small little popup with links to my core directories compared to the windows 8 with all my apps. I don't want to see my apps there, I have my desktop for that. I prefer the desktop too.

The start menu in a folder-like structure is excellent if you take care of it and sort your shit properly; take a look at Gnome 2/XFCE/LXDE/KDE's menu for excellent examples of well-taken-care-of-menus.

And secondly, if search is the future take me back to the CLI, it was much better at searching than any search bar shit ever was or ever will be.

The real question is would she let you, Answer HELL TO THE NO!

She's probably as cold as space. She looks frigid!

You really need to get the EFF out of the house, Trickson.

Please, someone hire this guy. For the love of TPU!

I'm doing that because you're so stupid it hurts. GLD too.

EDIT: Ok i'll clarify: Those kinds of comments and that sentiment is a big part of why women are being downtrodden worldwide.

Also, trickson doesn't have a house.

So she was the one responsible for the ass-backwards copying of AOL's Kid's World and making an OS GUI out of it?

And worse still, pissing off everyone (home and business users) on Windows 7 that would be willing to make the switch, by removing the Start bar, therefore not giving anyone time to adapt?
...

So what is her next plan? To make future tablets look like this, I imagine:

If she will not be the end of Microsoft in the OS business, she will no doubt be in charge of losing the company a metric fuckton of money.

I've actually seen some "pocket PCs" look similar to that.
