Good ideas. I am a Windows user but I fully agree with #1. No reason to assume that everyone wants Windows.
Of your ideas, I like #6 the most. People decry the death of the desktop PC, but for years now I have been of the opinion that none of the PC manufacturers are trying to do anything interesting on the desktop. Hence, no one feels any incentive to upgrade.
My highest-ranked idea for breathing life into the desktop PC is ultra high-definition very-large displays. Everything else falls into place from there. Ultra high-definition requires new GPU technology, potentially higher storage capacity, higher bandwidth, etc.
