Office Really Really Dead

Steve Sinofsky moves to Windows. Windows and MSN continue to get rolled up in Live. Ray Ozzie is quoted in Marketwatch bulletin:

"Steven's leadership, management and technical skills are well documented and evident in the kinds of products he ships and the type of work environment he creates."

In his new role, Sinofsky -- a longtime veteran of the Office business -- will work closely with Ozzie and Blake Irving to support Microsoft's services strategy across the division and company.

"I'm looking forward to working with Steven and his team in delivering software-based services that extend the value of our offerings by providing a more seamless connection between desktop products and the Web," Ozzie added.

 Translation: Steven ships on time. Office dead, rolled up in Windows. Windows now "software-based services." More seamless blah blah now under Windows group. Windows group under Ozzie. Office Dead. Now back to our movie: The Man Who Came to Lunch, starring  Mike Arrington.
