- outside1234 11y agoSatya shot that reorg in the head. As far as I know it was not really rolled out.
- contextfree 11y agoYes it was. Satya made some additional changes later (mainly downsizing the hardware division and merging it with OSG/Windows) but the basis of the organizational structure still essentially follows the 2013 reorg - in particular, it's still organized functionally.
