Microsoft this week notified employees about a reorganization affecting the Windows experience and devices teams, according to an internal memo obtained by Business Insider.

Included in the executive shuffle, happening Feb. 25, are members of organizations behind the company's important Microsoft 365 initiatives.

Microsoft 365 is a bundle of business apps, introduced in 2017, that includes Office 365 - cloud-based versions of the company's flagship productivity applications such as Word and Excel - collaboration tools like OneDrive and SharePoint, the Microsoft Teams chat app, and even the Windows 10 operating system itself. The strategy, the company has said, is to make it easier for customers to adopt the best of Microsoft, all at once.

That represents a big chunk of Microsoft's lineup of cloud software products, an area where it has a clear advantage in the cloud wars with Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud. AWS doesn't have a cloud software business to speak of, while Google's G Suite only accounts for a sliver of the market compared with the juggernaut that is Microsoft Office.
