Brainstorming that relates to the improvement of corporate thinking, as exemplified by Corporate America

General Ideas

Corporate Exorcism

...or removing the evil features from various corporations, in small manageable steps

Microsoft

Background

Microsoft currently faces an increasingly negative image, especially among the most technologically aware segments of the market. While that group is only a tiny share of Microsoft's potential marketspace, their opinions on software (and computing in general) tend to be sought out by others, who then make buying decisions based on those opinions -- so those opinions tend to have a disproportionately large effect on the marketplace.

The Idea

Microsoft could go a long way towards reversing this trend by doing one thing which would cost them very little: release all of their old operating systems (anything older than a certain number of years -- say 5-7 -- or anything for which official support had been discontinued) under an open-source license.

  • The big corporations, who are MS's main customers anyway, would continue to get the Latest & Greatest, because they need the support
  • Non-computerati (home users, small businesses) who buy name-brand from chains (e.g. Best Buy) would also continue to buy the latest Microsoft products via bundling, because they really don't have a choice
  • Anyone who couldn't afford to do either of those things would be able to continue on the Windows train, rather than essentially being forced to jump ship to Linux.
  • Old versions of Windows would start to get the bugs worked out of them, too, as hackers began to tinker with the code.
  • Everyone, *including* hackers, could start to think of Microsoft as a truly great company, giving back to the community instead of just buying up ideas and burying them forever or locking them up in layers of proprietariness.
