Microsoft could pull together its Windows and Windows Phone divisions into a single, unified team as part of the upcoming “major” reorganization, it’s suggested, better emphasizing the connections between the company’s PC and smartphone offerings. Chatter of a significant juggling in Microsoft’s various divisions began earlier this month, with CEO Steve Ballmer said to be
