Windows is under new management after Microsoft AI reshuffle
Microsoft is reuniting management of its Windows operating system and its Surface devices, as the leader of its Windows and Web Experiences team has quit his current role and may leave the company.
The move is one of the repercussions of Microsoft’s appointment of a former Google artificial intelligence (AI) leader to run its new AI division.
Mikhail Parakhin, who as Microsoft’s CEO of advertising and web services was also responsible for Windows and web experiences, is seeking new opportunities, potentially outside of Microsoft, according to an internal memo seen by Computerworld and sent by Microsoft’s head of experiences and devices, Rajesh Jha.
