and you would handle the unfair termination lawsuits?

Easy, VPC to run the old stuff with patch support for 5 years from the time announced.

most ppl wont upgrade their OS anyways, they'll just buy a new machine, preloaded with the new OS. Maybe sign a deal with the box builders that they can't preinstall anything, just give a DVD with the software package they want to offer with the option to not install certain apps.

MicroManny:
If I could change things, I would have a registery cleaner which automatically cleansed it without you having to download one and trying to read the instructions on how to use it. Not all people are computer literate and some of the stuff is beyond our comprehension.
 
 
But when you screw something up trying to clean the registry, you either must buy a new computer or pay someone to come straighten up your mess, and not all techs are knowledgable with the registry keys either. But buying a registry cleaner or even using one of the free ones, doesn't tell you much on how to use it. Besides that, the ones for sale, Microsoft probably owns those anyway!
 
Also, in order to open certain files, it says you need RAR to do it with, and if you don't have it, which most of the computers don't come loaded with, you have to buy that too. Anything to make a buck for the 'Rich Microsoft!!'   Also, in using the Microsoft Clipart, it's totally different from years ago where they made things much simplier.  Even now, it's hard to download clipart. They need to KISS (keep it simple stupid) !!  MicroManny:thumbdwn:

They also had a top 25 list which apple was on and microsoft was not, lol. I'm at college atm, I'll dig it out the filing cabinet and post it when i get home tonight.

 According to the "Global Top 50 Fastest Growing Companies" April 11 issue of Information Week, year-over-year growth: Apple Computer is ranked #17 with a 33% total rev YOY growth last year, microsoft was nowhere to be found on the list, while Yahoo inc was #1 with 120% total YOY rev growth, eBay is ranked #8 with 51% , Symantec #18 with 33%

adiment:
I'd keep everything and stop buying out other companys. I'd put that money into fixing windows and making it a stable OS. Also make an open-source program for some software  - not all, and not the OS. And pay people to find flaws so they can be fixed.

I remember it was called "What can Microsoft do right?" and it appears to have vanished along with many posts/threads when we shut down in October and reopened on a new server back in January.
