Windows head Steven Sinofsky leaves Microsoft |
November 13, 2012
Steven Sinofsky, the executive in charge of Microsoft’s Windows 8 operating system and the driving force behind the new OS, is leaving the company, Microsoft announced late Monday.
Sinofsky was also the public face for Windows 8 and its new Metro interface, posting constant updates in a Windows 8 blog that charted its development. His last post, fittingly, was entitled “Updating Windows 8 for General Availability.” The OS was officially launched at the end of last month.
Sinofsky’s departure is effective immediately, Microsoft said. The company will promote Julie Larson-Green, who was a lead engineer on Windows 7, to lead all Windows software and hardware engineering. CFO Tami Reller will take on the added duty of managing the business side of Windows.
