Steven Sinofsky promoted to president of Windows
With Windows 7 just months away from release, Microsoft is putting a new individual in charge of the whole Windows division. Steven Sinofsky — who was previously responsible for squashing thousands upon thousands of early Win7 bugs as the senior vice president for the Windows and Windows Live Engineering Group — now has a shiny new title. We’re told that as president, Mr. Sinofsky “assumes responsibility for the Windows business including both the engineering and marketing functions for Windows, Windows Live and Internet Explorer.” Yeah, pretty broad. Oh, and it’s not clear if the former prez’s decision to green light that patently disgusting “vomit” spot for IE8 was the straw that broke the camel’s back, but whatever the case, there’s a new brain behind the future of Windows. No pressure, Steve-o.
