UPDATE #2: Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has responded to Mattrick's departure in an e-mail sent to all affected Microsoft employees and later published on the company blog.

"Since joining IEB [Interactive Business Group] more than six years ago, Don and his team have accomplished much. Xbox Live members grew from 6 million to 48 million.
