Microsoft will announce a company-wide restructuring report this week

According to Microsoft CEO, AllThingsD, Steve Ballmer will announce a strong restructuring report on services and hardware this week.

Accordingly, Ballmer will restructure companies around the service sector ( software ) and devices, both in the consumer and business sectors. Ballmer may have laid the foundation for the transition when last year he wrote a note to shareholders that " this is really a new era for our company ".

The restructuring is expected to bring Skype chairman Tony Bates in charge of acquisitions and relationships with software developers, according to a Bloomberg report last week. In charge of the Windows division, Ms. Julie Larson-Green will supervise hardware engineering for all devices in the company - the position where Don Mattric k was previously considered to be appointed before he became CEO of game publisher Zynga.

Windows and Windows Phone operating systems will be included in Microsoft's current business portfolio under the control of Terry Myerson . Meanwhile Satya Nadella , who manages the server system, will switch to controlling a cloud-related division and other enterprise products. The executive of the online product group Qi Lu will manage Bing operating engineering unit as well as Skype's technical team.
