...what would you do to make it a better company?

Calum gave me the idea when I was reading a reply to one of VoidMain

voidmain:
And if that didn't work I would burn the place to the ground, gather up all the ashes, and fire them toward the sun.

badkarma:
I'd loot the company, fire all employees and go live off my cash for the rest of my life on some exotic small island in the pacific ocean.....

yep ... sounds like a good plan

Master of Reality:
Make the next windows (that will only be used on Microsofts computers) overheat the processor so that all the computers will burst into flames and burn down the company. Then i will collect the insurance and buy a big island in the atlantic to live on and get a helicopter and a hummer (the helicopter will carry the hummer around). Then being corrupted by running MS for that short time, i would put up something to take control of all the icebergs and charge people if they dont want one hitting their ship. I would also control the icegerg bottled water trade.

they wont be charged money for anythng though. I will give away the bottled water. I will demand one female from the ships that dont want to hit an iceberg

Here's my plan.

I would work on optimizing the hell out of Windows. Sure it's just a bunch of hacks, but many problems are just sloppiness and lack of common sense programming. It can be much better(although still not Unix) even if it is still a bunch of hacks.

Slowly we could keep Wind0ze compatible as it ever was and "common sense" fix it. Policies of bloatness, incompatibility etc. would be abolished. With each new patch, Windows would start getting better, like a cure slowly beating a diease.

I would seek to slowly take away the ammo that us Linux d00dz have against MS. Over time you could still claim many problems, but there severity would be greatly weakened. Thus the smarter people are much less inclined to seek out alternatives.

In addition, I would really try to reverse the "evil, greedy monopoly" aspect that the Linux community has against us. They either take away or tone down their claims, or else XP user #00000 can actually prove you guys are lying.  

Note that Pallidum would be SCRAPPED, far too much anti-MS ammo for Linux d00dz and smart computer advocates.

This still would all be part of phase 1.

Phase 2 would involve a top secret new OS. It's not Unix, but it learns much from it's successes and Windows/dos failures. At the end of phase 2, MS will still be a giant monopoly, but it's a much more fair monopoly who realizes the importance in leaving are enemies verbally unarmed. We allow for competition, in fact we ENCOURAGE IT! We use our massive profits and clout to create awesome software, in fact hackers are even hired to give us fresh new insight into not becoming stagnated. Still windows(new system would lose this loser name) would not be open source.

However, this would be Shawn Ratzloff doing all of this out of common sense. If it was my current self, Microsoft would change even more to become less evil, although I don't feel it can still make giant profits if it was open source.

Why the f**k Gates doesn't catch on to this concept is beyond me. He is only here because of luck and luck won't last forever. The underground(us) has tremendous amounts of ammo that can be backed up, he cannot win if were armed. So the only way to unarm us and still be evil is to take away any software incentive(other then moral) to switch to Linux.
