WPC KEYNOTES CLUES TO MICROSOFT REORG?

Kirill Tatarinov,  Microsoft Business SolutionsDoes the Microsoft keynote lists for the upcoming Worldwide Partner Conference contain any clues to the major reorganization that is expected to be announced? The industry is abuzz with speculation that CEO Steve Ballmer is not talking to anyone about what’s going to happen. That silence does suggest the speculation the number of divisional presidents might change when the company’s new fiscal year begins on July 1 are correct.

The WPC lineup includes keynotes from COO Kevin Turner, Tami Reller, CMO and CFO of Windows; Satya Nadella, president of Microsoft’s Server & Tools division; and Kirill Tatarinov, president of Microsoft Business Solutions. You’d think the company would not want to have its major conference proceed with the announcement that “Sorry, so-and-so has been replaced for today’s presentation.” But weirder things have happened in the corporate world. The only two things we know is that there is going to be a reorganization and no one has inside info on where the ax might fall. From my viewpoint, I hope Turner stays. He consistently delivers keynotes that have lots of info and does not fill them with corporate BS.
