Microsoft reshuffles Windows exec deck
C|Net | at | by Mike
Less than two months after the launch of its new Windows XP operating system, Microsoft has reshuffled a few high-ranking executives in its flagship Windows unit. The reordering at the division also affects the software giant's wireless-software group. Roger Weed, who handled marketing for that group, replaces John Frederiksen, a top executive who led the marketing effort for Windows XP. Frederiksen said his new role at Microsoft has not been officially announced and declined to reveal what it might be.
"I have been in Windows for the past four years and am at home on paternity leave with a new baby," said Frederiksen. "I am going to be switching jobs when I return in January."
