Microsoft confirms another executive departure
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft confirmed on Tuesday that a long-standing and influential member of the Windows OS team has left, one of several recent and imminent executive departures that together represent a changing of the guard at the company.
Rob Short, former corporate vice president of the Windows Core Technology group, left the company last month, according to a spokeswoman from Microsoft's public relations firm.
Short had helped develop the Windows OS at Microsoft since joining the company in 1988. He was on the original Windows NT development team, which did some of the early work to optimize Windows for the PC architecture.
