If Windows wants to commit to quality and user experience, they can do it by moving closer to the experience that made a generation fall in love with it.

  - Turn Notepad back into a text editor.
  - Remove ads from your operating system. Yes it feels like a license to print money, but it makes your users hate your product. 
  - Stop charging money for Freecell and Minesweeper.
  - Converge your three control panels back into one. The classic control panel was not broken.
  - Drop the mandatory Microsoft User accounts. Nobody wants this except your bean counters.

When 3 out of these 5 happen, I'll believe that Microsoft is actually recommitting to their users.
