諾基亞前CEO Stephen Elop曾是微軟CEO的 熱門人選 ，隨著 Satya Nadella的走馬上任 ，Elop也將被賦予新的使命。

根據 The Verge 曝光的一份微軟內部備忘錄，Elop即將接替Julie Larson-Green執掌微軟硬件業務部門，負責Xbox、Surface、游戲業務以及新并入的諾基亞設備服務部門業務。而Larson-Green將出任微軟首席體驗官（Chief Experience Officer），隸屬于應用與服務部門(ASG)。

此前，Elop曾表示過會考慮 賣掉 Xbox 以及關停 Bing 搜索 。但從目前的情況來看，Xbox和Bing搜索在微軟 One Microsoft 戰略 中仍有著重要的地位。

而對于Larson-Green來說，這次職位變動相當于是一次降職，但也讓她回到她更加熟悉的領域。她在給團隊的郵件中表示自己還會在硬件部門留任一段時間，直到微軟對諾基亞的收購完成后Elop的到來。

以下是Julie Larson-Green的完整備忘：

Team,

As you will read in the notes below from Qi and Satya, I‘ve accepted a new challenge, leading the My Life & Work team in ASG and serving as the Chief Experience Officer (CXO). As hard as it is for me to leave Devices & Studios, I‘m thrilled about this opportunity. In working with company leaders this year to establish our One Microsoft vision and plan, I thought about ways I could have impact on helping Microsoft prepare for the future and innovate. My discussions with Satya and Qi made clear this is a critical space to drive new thinking and an essential way to help the shape the company‘s direction. I‘m looking forward to developing the Digital Life & Digital Work Experience Substrate that powers modern digital experiences regardless of device, as well as working across ASG to strengthen customer experiences.

I want to thank each and every one of you for welcoming me and supporting me as the leader of Devices & Studios over the past 7 months. I‘m very proud of what we have accomplished during such a short timeframe. We launched Xbox One, Surface 2 & Pro 2, blockbuster games like Forza and Ryse, a brand new Xbox Music and Video service, PPI, and some amazing unannounced innovations just to name a few - incredibly impressive!

Our opportunity to grow as a world-class devices and experiences company is greater than ever, and I have every belief that as One Microsoft we‘re on the right path. The addition of Nokia Devices & Services into the DnS family will add tremendous scale, talent and opportunity for our future.

I‘ll remain in role leading the DnS organization in the interim until the Nokia deal closes and Stephen Elop makes his transition to Microsoft. We‘ve been meeting regularly throughout and are making a lot of progress, ensuring our teams are ready for the Day 1 close and beyond.

You are all in great hands with Stephen and already we‘ve shared a lot with him and his LT from Nokia regarding all of the fantastic people, teams and products in DnS. I also know many of you are looking forward to welcoming the Nokia team and working more closely with them.

As I look to the future, I‘m reminded of a favorite Chinese proverb: "To get through the hardest journey we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping."

I encourage you all to stay focused on the journey and opportunities ahead, and know that I‘ll be there in step with you as we launch the next chapter of Microsoft.

Thank you,

Julie
