Microsoft has announced that Michael Delman will become the company's new vice president of global marketing for the Interactive Entertainment Business (for the three of you not intimately familiar with Microsoft's corporate structure, that's where Xbox lives). Delman replaces the beloved – yes, we said beloved – Jeff Bell, who recently announced his departure from the company to "pursue a passion outside entertainment."

Delman, who is currently VP of the global marketing communications group at MS, will officially take the new position in August. Hopefully, we'll be introduced to Mr. Delman at next month's E3 and be able to ask him, in honor of Jeff Bell, one simple question: "And your contribution to society is ... what?"

I am sure his new salary is worth smiling about.
He seems like a decent guy, unlike that preppy douche Bell.

Big surprise. Micro$oft gives a brother's job to a white guy.

Anyone notice how he's using XP and Vista? Finally, Microsoft has someone INTELLIGENT aboard.

You mean instead of Vista?

Though I did lol.

That shirt! He looks like the junior member of the Buena Vista social club.

But I dont hate. Welcome to the kindergarden that is the xbox community. Maturity, leave it in your old desk.

Wow, that is the most amazing promo shot of a corporate I have ever seen. I give props to whoever took that photo.

Gee I wish I had a snazzy bulletin board like they have in the mega-high-tech plush offices of Microsoft...

he looks like Michael Dell.

His NAME is )(*#&)(*#&$)ing Michael DELman

He's Dell-Man. And he works on PCs all day long.

HOW COULD YOU NERDS NOT SEE THIS!!?

I've never liked anyone more after only seeing a single photograph of them (insert dirty joke here). I'm a firm believer that you can tell a lot from someone's face and he just looks like a good dude.
