"This the first major Windows reorg since Davuluri was promoted to Windows and Surface chief more than a year ago. The changes mean the leaders of the Windows teams for Core OS, Data Intelligence and Fundamentals, Security, and Engineering Systems all now report up to Davuluri. It also means that most of the engineering work for Windows is now under a single division leader, rather than shared with Microsoft's Azure teams."
"In 2018, when former Windows chief Terry Myerson left Microsoft, the company split up Windows into two teams, with the core of the Windows platform team moving to the Azure side and the client parts of Windows moving to a new Experiences & Devices team. While former Windows and Surface chief Panos Panay clawed back some of the Windows fundamentals and developer experience teams in 2020, the core engineering teams of Windows were still separate from the employees shipping software like Windows 11 until today."
Microsoft consolidated most Windows engineering teams into a single organization led by Pavan Davuluri, bringing Windows client and server engineering under unified leadership. Leaders of Core OS, Data Intelligence and Fundamentals, Security, and Engineering Systems now report to Davuluri. The reorganization ends the long-running split that began after Terry Myerson’s 2018 departure, when core platform engineering moved to Azure while client experiences sat elsewhere. Some low-level Windows components will remain with Azure, particularly Storage, Networking, and Security, but the bulk of Windows engineering is centralized to focus on priorities and advance a vision of Windows as an Agentic OS.
