His team also was in charge of Microsoft;s digital-rights management and advanced-media strategies,
Office 2007 Product Key, including the lame-duck HD-DVD disc format.It wasn;t support of HD-DVD that led to Majidimehr;s departure, Microsoft officials said. A enterprise spokesman sent the following e-mail confirmation:“So the TV platform and Live Services businesses within the Entertainment and Devices Division were restructured last October, which resulted within the Consumer Media Technologies enterprise led by Amir being absorbed into these two organizations. As such, there was no replacement. Amir moved over for a time to special projects focusing on future connected entertainment scenarios, but then announced in January that he decided to pursue other opportunities outside of Microsoft. I spoke to him briefly the day he left, and he said he had several opportunities to pursue, but hadn;t decided which one yet.”(Majidimehr;s bio is still on Microsoft;s Web site, with no notice of his departure.)The restructuring resulted with the unification of Microsoft;s IPTV,
Office 2010 Professional Plus, Media Center and HD DVD initiatives into a single organization, known as the Microsoft Connected TV company group.
