3. She Shook Things Up for Windows
Microsoft saw very sluggish sales and poor reception for Windows Vista, and after her successes with Office, Larson-Green was transferred over to help reorganize the Windows team.
According to an interview in The Telegraph from 2009. Larson-Green made fundamental changes to the engineering structure for Windows 7's creation, preventing engineers from being siloed off and making them interact with technologies that complimented their own projects. What Xbox fans should learn from this is that while Larson-Green hadn't worked on operating systems before Windows' launch, she adapted to her new surroundings quickly.
"I'd been working on Office and had never worked on an operating system before. I spent a lot of time learning about the market, the challenges, the people on the team," she told the The Telegraph.
This is the best bit, if she can have no OS/Windows experience and then come out with Windows 7, it's evident she can do wonders with no specific background experience.
