@monkbent Also much of the company was already a functional org, up to division leaders. So lots like comments about generalists don't apply -
@BrandonLive I'm very familiar with the company, having worked for Windows for two years. -
@monkbent I was there for eight ;-) -
@BrandonLive cool. Point is, I'm not shooting off the hip with my analysis. Obviously, it's fine to disagree :) -
@monkbent For sure. Just the first criticism of it I've heard. General consensus on the ground seems to be that it's the right direction. -
@BrandonLive interesting. Heard both, but more neg. I'm pretty set in my opinion on this one though, although I'll admit if proved wrong. -
@monkbent Most negative I've heard is about Phone taking over Windows vs other way around :-) Either way, needed to bridge that divide.
