Outlook and Office are part of the Applications and Services Group. Windows was the Operating Systems Group. It's been this way since 2013

Were Windows and Office ever part of the same org? I don't believe so - at least in this century. In fact, my understanding is that the antitrust consent decree required a separation between the OS and applications orgs.
