a) Separate Outlook Express, IE, Media Player, and Windows Messenger from the OS. Make them free downloads from Microsoft.com
I don't understand why these should be separated. Apple is allowed to bundle equivalent programs (although higher quality in my opinion) with Mac OSX.
I agree with the other points. I would also add that MS should release protocol information. For example, I believe SAMBA is reversed engineered. When MS makes a change, SAMBA developers have to start packet sniffing to figure out what is going on.
