A yr ago, I wondered when and no matter if Microsoft would make Bob Muglia, head with the firm;s Server and Resources enterprise, among the corporation;s presidents.On January 5, 2009, that happened. Muglia is now President of Server and Instruments (not with the general Windows organization, as I had speculated originally). Another two Microsoft presidents are Robbie Bach,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus, President of Microsoft;s Enjoyment and Products unit, and Stephen Elop,
Office 2010 Pro Key, President of Microsoft;s Company Division.It;s just the start of Microsoft reorg time. Remain tuned. With all the ongoing talk of consolidation, maybe we;ll see a new Microsoft corporate structure get shape….Today;s e-mail from CEO Steve Ballmer to the troops:From: Steve Ballmer

Subject: Bob Muglia Promoted to President, Server & Resources BusinessThe core of our success at Microsoft has always been great people—people who combine talent, drive,
Cheap Office 2007, vision, customer focus, and leadership. These are the qualities that enable us to see our opportunities clearly and pursue them with persistence and discipline.Few people at Microsoft embody these qualities more fully than Bob Muglia,
Office 2007 License, and few people have contributed more to the company’s success. So today, I am pleased to share the news that Bob has been promoted to President of Microsoft’s Server & Equipment Business.As senior vice president of STB, Bob has established Microsoft as the industry leader in providing great server products to companies of all sizes and in delivering the instruments that enable developers and IT pros to build optimized solutions for their customers and companies. In the process, he has helped build a remarkably successful small business that has grown from virtually nothing a decade in the past to more than $13 billion in FY08. Today, STB accounts for more than 20 percent of the company’s total revenue.More than that, Bob has built a culture of getting things done and done right. He has championed some of our most important initiatives and helped us successfully face some of our most important competitive challenges.Bob joined Microsoft 21 years ago, in January of 1988. I can think of no better way to acknowledge the importance of his contribution over the last two decades than to extend my congratulations to him for his new title. As always,
Office Enterprise 2007, I look forward to continuing to work closely with Bob to drive further growth for STB and the entire company.Steve
