Former AT&T Wireless and E*Trade Executive Michael Sievert is to take on the position of vice president for Windows product management as the next version of Windows, ‘Longhorn’, enters a critical phase in its development.
Sievert is replacing 17-year Microsoft veteran Tom Button, the current vice president in charge of Windows product management, who has been in that role since the summer of 2003. Button has taken a leave of absence due to family medical reasons, according to a corporate statement. Button is expected to return to Microsoft in a different capacity, company officials said. (Most of Button’s Microsoft career was spent in the developer division.)
