"Ousted Microsoft Windows chief Steven Sinofsky has a new profession: teacher. In a tweet, he stated that he was going to be heading to Harvard Business School this spring to help educate the minds of our future leaders.\r\n\r\nIt was just a month ago when\u00A0Sinofsky left Microsoft\u00A0rather abruptly, with\u00A0some speculating\u00A0that it was because he was &amp;quot;not being a team player&amp;quot;, although others believe that it was because\u00A0he refused to add support\u00A0for tablets in Windows 7. For over 10 years, he had been involved with many products that are famously associated with Microsoft, including its Office software, the Windows operating system, Windows Live, and the Surface.\r\n\r\nMicrosoft said that Sinofsky's role in the company would be divided among two executives: Julie Larson-Green and Tami Reller:\r\nSinofsky\u2019s duties, much in the way of [former Apple executive Scott] Forstall\u2019s, will be divided among two Microsoft executives. Julie Larson-Green will be in charge of engineering and Tami Reller will be taking charge of the business aspects of Windows. Larson-Green has been with Microsoft since 1993 and has worked on teams behind the new Microsoft Office, UI design of Windows 7 and 8, as well as the original Internet Explorer\r\nThis isn't his first stint in the education world: previously he served as a &amp;quot;visiting scholar&amp;quot; in the late 90s and as CNET reports, has co-authored a book on organizational management with Marco Iansiti, a professor at the business school. The former Microsoft executive says that he will be teaching product development to students and write more.\r\n\r\nPhoto credit:\u00A0Darren McCollester/Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
