Former Windows chief Steven Sinofsky, who abruptly announced his departure from Microsoft earlier this week, is denying that he left after failing to bring the Windows Phone division under his control.
Sinofsky made his declaration in the comments section of former Microsoft engineer Hal Berenson's blog, who wrote about Sinofsky's departure on Tuesday. In that post, Berenson suggested that Sinofsky "had apparently lost recent battles to bring both Windows Phone and the Developer Division under his control."
Sinofsky, however, said that was not the case.
"I never initiated any discussions to bring together the organizations/products you describe and no one ever approached me to manage them as part of Windows 7 or 8," Sinofsky wrote.
"If we had worked together you would know that historically, very few things moved into teams I managed," Sinofsky continued.
