If I Ran Microsoft
I saw the "If I Ran Microsoft" video online today. It mentioned the public image for Microsoft and the great things that they do. The video showed the "We Are Microsoft Charity Challenge Weekend". It was a big deal for those charities that now have a great system to do their charity work with. I'm so glad that I had a part in it this year.
No. This isn't my version of the "If I Ran Microsoft". I'm not presumptuous enough to think I know how to keep such a huge company running properly with a real profit. There are marketing engines in place and research being done to ensure its success. Think about the magnitude of Microsoft (like Wal-Mart unfortunately).

The Auto Industry selling new cars while getting bail-out money (sorry - bridge loans) and the Unknown Loan Companies that bought the auto loans from them a long time ago for all of those people mentioned.
Microsoft has a huge impact on the country where open source software and the expensive support that comes with it cannot replace.
