WHS General Manager Is Moving
TechFlash.com is reporting that Charlie Kindel General Manager on the Windows Home Server team is moving over to the Mobile Communications Business within Microsoft, the group responsible for Windows Mobile. Joining Charlie will be Joe Belfiore, an executive on the Zune project team who will both be working alongside Terry Myerson, who came from the Exchange team last year.
It’s sad to see Charlie is leaving as Windows Home Server is his baby which he first thought about back in 1999 and originally started as the Quattro project 5 years later. Charlie finally started the Windows Home Server product group in April 2005, bringing a Home Server product to the masses.

I understand why Joe Belfiore went over to WM..its part of the Zune strategy. They are working hard for Zune “services” to find a home on the WM platform.
Charlie’s move is a bit of a puzzle for me. I think the WHS group has done a very good job working with OEMs…and maybe thats part of the lure in bringing Charlie over. The question for the WHS community…who has taken over the reigns for WHS? And does this alter the future roadmap for the WHS platform?
