1) OS group should be separated from browser group - break up MS.
2) Every customer who do not want to purchase Windows with computer should have the refund with the amount of RETAIL price. That ensure that MS keep retail prices low and equal to volume prices for selected OEM.
The price discount for good guys is the most anti-competitive hammer of Microsoft. Stop it!

"The Emperor's New Clothes" - The PC Week tale. Once upon a time, the Windows 2000 developers team faced the threat that most non-Microsoft applications and virtually all games does not work on NT aka Windows 2000 new kernel. The problem is with DirectX, Plug and Play, PCMCIA and.. everything else. What to do? Windows 2000 consists of server OS, the big fat pricy box that helps sysadmins to centralize all bugs in the single place and small client/consumer boxes where bleeding edge users try to run uncertified applications, all at the same time! So why not to drop few years of failed development and market old Windows 95 aka 98 box as Windows 2000, Personal Edition? Looks like the Windows team finally decided to do that. So, Windows 2000 is dead.. Long live Windows 95!
Hardware/Software company Corel was like Pepsi-Taco Bell. Whay that's bad? Look my recent comment in Samovar awards for January ( follow link in subject ). That's the vertical marketing problem - not always very good.
