Microsoft Windows VP Set To Take Control of Xbox One

Wait... so /she's/ the jackass who designed the ribbon interface? Burn the witch! Burn her, I say! 
Kinda what I was thinking. Who is in charge of the Xbox One at this point is meaningless: they've had their PR nightmare and very little will change the minds of consumers at this point. What they can "fix" is the future and what they can do to regain our trust.lacktheknack said:
That's if she lasts that long and isn't blamed for all of the problems her predecessor created.
Dear Gods! This is the twit that is directly responsible for the hideous Office Ribbon System and Windows 8! Who on earth thinks that this will be a good idea? She is like the polar opposite of thoughts like "Fun!" or "Intuitive Control Schemes". Does this woman even know what a Video Game is?
Fan-fucking-tastic. Ok, I'm sold. So long as that's the case I don't give a fuck. The Xbone is in much safer hands than I first thought. Still not going to buy one, but hey. I can be happy that someone seemingly competent is in charge now.JokerboyJordan said:

I thought she was pretty darn young until they mentioned 1993 as the date she joined. Of course, I thought Don looked unusually young too. Heh, when going through that list I find it mildly funny that her involvement skipped Vista and Win8. I wonder why the skip.
as always, noone ever blames her for beign a woman but for what she did at MS, yet still some white knights come out and moan about us blaming her for beign a woman. i think capcha was right after all.MrHide-Patten said:

Well, she certainly has some big shoes to fill?
lol, just kidding. All she has to do is fire the entire previous PR team and she'll do merrily.

So, we've already called her a fox, a witch, and approved/disapproved of her work credits and shown hope/doubt for her ability to do whatever it is that she getting paid to in theory accomplish.
/thread?
I like windows 7, that is the only thing in Microsoft's entire Curriculum Digitae that hasn't outright sucked in my experience.
Now unless you can show that she personally coded it in her basement and Microsoft loved it so much they bought her out and made her an executive...I fail to see why its even relevant to her new position which is overseeing console hardware brand management if I deciphered her job title correctly.
As previously stated they are basically saying "You seem to have your act together, and no one else wants to touch this job with an ove glove. Good luck!"
Since I can only name one other female in the gaming industry that isn't a voice actress (Leslie Swan) I somehow doubt that any success will suddenly catapult her into becoming a gaming household name. Though I'm convinced that if the Xbone fails epically the blame will be laid at her feet. As previously stated.
It really sucks that Mattrick can essentially jump off a burning ship like that and leave them twisting in the wind (mixed metaphor ><), but at least he has to work at Zynga now.

What M$ really need is a hotshot troubleshooter to fix all the crap thats been thrown (mostly justifyably) at the Xbone and i really hope Ms Larson-Green is that woman. Windows 7 was a great success Windows 8 less so, in general she seems competent but she is being handed quite a poisoned chalice.
Personally, though i currently dont plan on getting an Xbone, i would like her to succeed and turn this burning ship around before it reaches port and explodes.

I dunno what good she will do to steer the Xbone back on track, this is one hot mess I wouldn't have someone else touch with a ten foot pole. All I can say is she's gonna be very sick and tired of hearing this phrase 24/7...
Good luck, lady. You'll need it. ^^;
