Specifically, Myerson will now lead a new unit called the "Windows and Devices Group" that combines Microsoft's Windows work, and its hardware.

The Windows and Devices group is simply named: The division will include Windows, and the devices that have become associated with the company's hardware push — think Lumia, HoloLens, Surface Hub, Xbox, and Surface.

I'm not sure if that's a wise idea.  I'm sure Surface is doing well for Microsoft now.  Not sure why they'd want to bury it.   Oh well, maybe good will come of this.

Next step...

Combine Windows sales and Xbox sales like "this quarter we sold 50 million Windows and Xbox"

So which other divisions do they have?

So which other divisions do they have?

Business, Windows, and this I believe.  Like, Windows isn't in the business solutions for some reason, if I'm right (Can be wrong).

No Windows is this though...

So just business and this?

Oh yeah you're right, they threw Windows with the tablets.  So yeah, business and this.  Though I never knew why Windows isn't in business solutions.
