Microsoft To Combine Its Windows Client and Hardware Teams Under Chief Product Officer Panos Panay (zdnet.com) 6
The first couple of months of each year, Microsoft typically reorgs something. This time around, it's the Experiences and Devices unit under Executive Vice President Rajesh Jha where a lot of the changes are happening. From a report: The biggest and boldest move in the February 5 reorg being announced internally today involves the Windows Experience (client) and the hardware teams. Microsoft is going to roll up these two businesses into a single team, known as Windows + Devices -- reporting to Chief Product Officer Panos Panay, I've confirmed with a person familiar with the changes who asked not to be named. The move takes effect on February 25. Corporate Vice President Joe Belfiore, who currently heads the Windows Experience business under Jha, is going to move over to the Office side of the house. Belfiore and Ales Holecek will be leading the Office Experience Group (OXO) team as a product/engineering team. Belfiore will continue to lead EPIC (Essential Products Inclusive Community), which includes the mobile apps on Android and iOS and Microsoft News.

they neutered the search field in their latest Windows 10 "update". Now, instead of having an area available to readily search, they've tied their search into their crappy search engine, also known as Bing.
That's right. Now your searches go all the way out to the web and back before being processed, opening up even more avenues for your data to be violated.
How nice of Microsoft to add this hacking capability into people's machines.

That would be super dumb; shareholders voting out the entire board dumb. It won't happen.
