"2) Superman does not exist. Steve B's (or his replacement's) task can be compared to performing brain surgery while wearing gloves. 30+ pair of gloves. One for each year we went through without having to re-adjust to reality (aka: the world where you can't define success as "once adjusted most customers don't hate the new Office interface that much")."

Wrong, mon ami! Superman does exist and he is I; I is him? Whatever.

1.) Firing moratorium for one year except Gates, Ballmer, Brummel; they go NOW!
2.) Exciting Mission Statement.
3.) New boundaries (Policies)
4.) Strong consequences for crossing those boundaries...for mgt. and labor alike.
5.) Rapidly train and bestow authority upon internal evangelists with clout. If you're political, you'll be bypassed and neutralized. You can run but you can't hide, sucker!
6.) Start with Cash Cow and streamline and reward innovation, candor, reporting, management, feedback and control.
7.) Work through lesser cows and, where there is great market potential and a window of opportunity, elevate the cow status, if necessary.
8.) Constantly monitor the health of the company with strong feedback loops and remedial training... mandatory.

Gerstner did it; so can you and I!
