SEATTLE(AP)
Microsoft Corp. says the executive in charge of its Windows and
Web operations is leaving the company.
Kevin Johnson was president of Microsoft's platforms and
services division, which was responsible for Internet Explorer, the
Windows operating system and the Windows Live programs, including
Web e-mail and instant messaging. The division also included online
advertising, search and Microsoft's MSN sites.
Microsoft says the division will now be split in two, with heads
of the Windows and online groups reporting directly to Chief
Executive Steve Ballmer.
