i guess, i would get rid of windows os-core, replace it with linux/bsd (more likely) and provide a nice skin on top. this would most likely destroy all hopes of having linux / osx having any resonable dominance on the desktop anytime soon. and a unix-y core would be quite welcome among the hackers too. world-domination with a vengeance :o)

edit: one thing that i realized is that _is_ possible to dress unix up quite nicely. an iron fist with a velvet glove.

another thing to do would be to buy out symbian. with mobile phones threatning to mete out the same treatment to desktops, as was done by desktops to main-frames in the not too distant past, it might prove to be quite useful.
may be u r right - mobile internet, mobile e-commerce and mobile advertising is the future and a powerful mobile OS and apps will help to lead the market and thats what google is trying to do.
