In short, the company needs to have a strong independent division that is innovative in hardware and software and unattached to it's older more democratic independent operator roots. This is a battle for survival based on server processed software and Microsoft needs to see a revolution has happened that was long overdue and that it did not initiate! The old Microsoft world has to reform to be hybrid in nature, but that will squeeze the central player into the shadows unless it has an OS that competes as a small self contained independent system, highly adaptable and can run on independent servers. Very difficult in a security minded world.
Perhaps, embedding systems dynamically is the answer with access by the distributing center that keeps the operating code clean and upgrades continuously over time to allow diversification in hardware and software applications. Can Windows be so reformed?

Be open and honest. Breath deeply and wear your body softly. Eat small things and stay unprocessed! Guard against negative thinking. Follow this stream with care and be open to new realms of understanding.
