Terry Myerson, leader of the Windows and Devices Group, announced his departure from Microsoft this week. The 21-year veteran won’t be replaced. Instead, the company is forming two new engineering teams that will prioritize Microsoft’s cloud and artificial intelligence products.



So far, the company’s investment in the cloud, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things has paid off. Amy Hood, Microsoft’s chief financial officer, said in January that the company’s commercial cloud revenue grew 56% year-over-year. In that quarter, Windows commercial products and cloud services sales fell 4%.
