Microsoft should start from scratch and make Windows2 Desktop, Windows2 Mobile and an OpenBSD-based Windows2 Server.

Cram thousands of users into a hall using all sorts of versions and customizations of Windows along with A/B testing, heat maps etc. to figure out the fastest and easiest way to get a thing done. This way users won't have to spend hours trying to customize their Windows (read: disable all the new stuff).

Also maybe throw a world-wide design contest to find the best suited man / woman to be responsible for a new Windows2 design.

Like they say, "perfection is achieved, not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away".
