"We can confirm that Mike Nash is leaving Microsoft in a couple weeks," the Microsoft representative said. "In his 19 years, Mike made an impact in number of key roles at the company. We appreciate his service and wish him well."

Nash is another member of the Microsoft Windows team to depart the company, following the departure of Bill Veghte last month. Veghte, the former senior vice president of Microsoft's global Windows business, lost the job to Steven Sinofsky, who oversaw the Office business, last July.
