Office Really Really Dead
Steve Sinofsky moves to Windows. Windows and MSN continue to get rolled up in Live. Ray Ozzie is quoted in Marketwatch bulletin:
"Steven’s leadership, management and technical skills are well documented and evident in the kinds of products he ships and the type of work environment he creates."
In his new role, Sinofsky — a longtime veteran of the Office business — will work closely with Ozzie and Blake Irving to support Microsoft’s services strategy across the division and company."I’m looking forward to working with Steven and his team in delivering software-based services that extend the value of our offerings by providing a more seamless connection between desktop products and the Web," Ozzie added.
Translation: Steven ships on time. Office dead, rolled up in Windows. Windows now "software-based services." More seamless blah blah now under Windows group. Windows group under Ozzie. Office Dead. Now back to our movie: The Man Who Came to Lunch, starring Mike Arrington.
Bulletin: Boned by the Borg Part I released.
