A vice president from Microsoft's eHome Division, who oversaw initiatives including Windows Media Center, has shifted to the Zune team, according to the latest Microsoft organizational chart from the independent Directions on Microsoft research firm. The question: Does the change indicate a new direction for the company's iPod competitor?
Joe Belfiore, an 18-year Microsoft veteran, is now a Zune corporate vice president, "responsible for Zune strategy and product development," according to his updated listing on the Directions on Microsoft org chart. The chart is based on information from people at Microsoft, and it is widely used and referenced inside the company. A Zune representative wasn't immediately able to confirm the change. As of Tuesday afternoon, Belfiore's online bio still has him in the eHome Division, but those aren't always up to date.
Based on Belfiore's background in Windows Media Center, one possibility is that the company is looking to increase Zune's focus on video, said Matt Rosoff, an analyst with Directions on Microsoft.

As an intern I worked with Joe. As a Zune owner (30GB and 8GB) and as a Media Center user since the first release, I'm hopeful for the division.

JUST JOIN IT WITH XBLVM and we'll all be f*cking happy! no need to reinvent the wheel... i love my Zune i really due... but i just got an iphone ... but as soon as i see a sexy, 3.5" zunephone ... ill be switching as i want windows mobile compatability... and i hate apple :)
