No Ryan, you are highly wrong. Ship should not be a MUST DO for microsoft UNTIL they fix things like internet explorer. By fix I mostly mean render pages in a more standard way and stop inventing proprietary tags etc, and have good solid CSS support.
That is a dream though, so very unlikely its saddening.

It wouldn’t hurt to accept some open formats, or at least allow competitors and open source projects to write microsoft file formats.

As for the graphical system, I’m more than happy for my graphics card not to be wasting time on rendering a clunky desktop.

11. Ship.

It’s no good if you don’t ship it.

Meh.. I’m tired of Microsoft’s stupidness about stuff now-a-days. I’m just about ready to switch to Linux and call it good. Microsoft has just made me mad one too many times lol. Although, I do agree with everything on that list.

I would be happy with having the same interface across all applications. As it stands now you are learning 100 new ways to do the same one thing everytime you pick a new app.

Get rid of the registry? Sorry but there’s no chance on that happening.

In the future Microsoft wants people to pay-per-year to use their OSs.
