Around $3 trillion dollars so that I can buy Microsoft and shut them down, paving the way for the GNU/Linux desktop.
I’ll donate to that cause!
Better make that $100 trillion (a rough estimate of the world economy's nominal value) to make sure you don't cripple our whole civilisation, as it would allow you to pay for basically every single company on the planet, all of which would suddenly have to invest a lot of money to move at least some of their IT infrastructure over to a GNU/Linux equivalent, much of which may not even exist yet and would have to be built from scratch.
Fuck that shit. I'll release all Microsoft code under GPL so people can figure their own shit out. As for people who built their business on Azure? The will reap what they sowed.
Make me your king, and I will take us to the GNU-Slash-Linux holy land.
