The best thing for this industry would be to nationalize Microsoft's code for Windows, and bar it from developing operating systems. It has consistently shown a blatent disregard for the industry and the law. Microsoft would continue as an application development organization and Windows would be taken up by the industry at large, or dropped in favor of another os, such as Linux.

This would be a fair and equitable thing to do given the offenses of them and the best thing for fostering development of innovative application software.

Of course, most people wouldn't understand why this is appropriate.
