Microsoft said Friday that it has transferred the head of its Macintosh business unit to another division, leaving open the question of who will lead the company's Mac efforts.
Kevin Browne, who has headed Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit (MacBU) for the past three years and has been on sabbatical since July, is moving to an unspecified role in the company's Xbox unit.
"At the end of October, he will transition to a new challenge building games for xBox," a Microsoft representative said in an e-mail to CNET News.com. "This new job offers Kevin the opportunity to learn new skills, work with a group of customers who are extremely passionate about great software (just like Mac users), and pursue his personal interests in games and sports."
Browne, who joined the Mac unit six years ago, was scheduled to return to the MacBU this month.
