Microsoft Corp. has split its entertainment and devices division into four businesses, the latest reorganization at the world's largest software maker.

The chief of the entertainment and device unit, Robbie Bach, responsible for launching Microsoft's Xbox video game business, told employees in a Wednesday e-mail he would turn his focus to longer-term strategy and partner relationships.

I should be on Billy Gates' marketing strategy team for the launch of any new MS gaming console.  I'd start bundling the console with all Windows OS releases.  Let's see Japan avoid it now.   (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
It's a damn shame I'd prolly get sued for this idea tho.

I don't know about you people, but I don't like the sound of that.
