A new approach to Windows releases 3. Secure new revenue by buying big 4. Taking the web seriously through interoperability 5. More Microsoft than Gates [letting new people make decisions].

Microsoft has already started to adopt a model that's more akin to Apple than anything else: It uses and contributes to projects which leverage its own platform, and could really give a damn about the larger open source developer space. Which is pretty pragmatic. Nobody can credibly argue that Apple is an "open source" company. They simply use and contribute to open source, where it makes sense for their bottom line.
