• Leaders for Core OS, Data Intelligence and Fundamentals, Security, and Engineering Systems now report directly to Davuluri.
• Engineering for Windows client and server is being brought back into a single organization after years of separation.
• Low-level platform teams for the kernel, virtualization, and Linux stay within Azure Core, with continued dependencies in storage, networking, and security.
• This marks a partial reversal of the 2018 split that moved core Windows platform work to Azure.
• Microsoft ties the restructure to an AI push that includes Windows AI Labs and recent Windows 11 additions like Copilot Vision and an AI-powered Settings agent.
