In what is the Xbox division's biggest shake-up since original management team members including Ed Fries and Seamus Blackley left the company in 2004, Microsoft has today revealed that two individuals that many gamers are used to seeing reference to, Robbie Bach and J Allard, will be leaving the company this fall.

Looks like some long seated problems are finally coming home to roost?

Possibly due to gimmicky things like Natal taking more precedence over much cooler things like 2 screened netbook thing?

Well J Allard left, because Courier was killed. HP ended up buying Palm, and is now going to use their WebOS. I remember hearing that the HP Slate was going to end up using things Courier did.

Also J Allard is still going to be there as an adviser.
