Most interesting of these divisions is the Home & Entertainment division.Belluzzo joined Microsoft in 1999 as group vice president, and was promoted to president and chief operating officer in 2001. In that role, Belluzzo was in charge of worldwide sales, marketing and Microsoft's games and TV division. Rick Belluzzo is credited with the relaunch of MSN and playing a key role in the development of .NET and Xbox.
