I think Linux was crippled by the lack of a language totally controlled by a monopolistic power that hates Linux. We should rewrite major applications so they depend on Microsoft's pet language, so that any change in the Microsoft spec can cause untold damage as the compatability problems spread.
This will help us sympathise with people who are stuck using systems based on closed, proprietary, systems. It's the best possible use of developer time there could be.
