It wasn't immediately clear in Ballmer's statement, but is the Office division moving under the Cloud services group? It's interesting that they are putting their money-making operations (Office + Server&Tools) under Cloud with Satya Nadella instead of moving it over to Application Services under Qi Lu. Which, given the name, you would think Office would move under Applications.
- snuxoll 13y agoThe big push with Office is in Office 365 now, the desktop and server products of the Office family (Office, Exchange, Lync, Project Server, Sharepoint) are all direct results of the direction MS is headed with cloud services. Of course I don't see MS killing their on-premises products, but the change makes sense to me.
