Looking into this a bit more (thanks for the links endimion) I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. On the one hand, she'll probably be good for the Xbox division in that the hardware has been decided so her relative lack of hardware experience won't matter much and her input in terms of user experience could be a major help in distinguishing the X1 experience. She should also help in getting the same recognizable user experience across multiple devices (I'm thinking smart glass-like linking but on a larger scale) .

On the other hand she has no prior experience in the games industry and her position means she'll be responsible for a lot more than Xbox so her attention will be divided. I think Greenburg & Major Nelson's roles as advisor's just got a whole lot more important.

So, could go either way.
