This reorg further confirms Microsoft's "recommitment" to Windows that information technology announced back in May. Information technology'southward clear that Microsoft wants the Windows and Devices squad to be working closely with everyone at Microsoft to ensure Surface and Windows products are the best they maybe can exist. The memo continues:

Innovation and success are but possible through close collaboration with other teams across Microsoft. Windows + Devices is the entry betoken to all Microsoft services, and we are committed to working paw-in-hand with our partners in COSINE, Microsoft 365, SAN, Edge, and and then many other teams throughout the visitor to address customers' needs.
