Hmm... Microsoft would be improved by zombies, as well as Amtrak, and multitudinous other things.
Google might not be improved by zombies though.
"Zoogle it." just sounds odd.
Zoos, would be improved by zombies though.
"Look there, students! It's a Zombie Zebra!"
- Anybody ever been to a zoo where there was actually a Zebra? Zombie Zebras at the Zoo are Zany!

Yes, Microsoft WOULD be improved by zombies, because then they'd just continue to check for bugs over and over and over...
I dunno, maybe Google could get the zombies to help when the masses screw things up--I can't tell you how many times I've searched for terms and only found something relevant on the tenth or eleventh page.

Microsoft zombies would all be sitting in little cubicles going "Buuuuuggggsss. Buuugggssss."

Here's how I always imagine Microsoft employees. Bit for bit.
Software developer: So, look at this, these drivers won't allow for an SLI dual video card
configuration, so, shall we f-
Lead developer: Nope! It looks good to me, next issue.
Software developer:... um okay, what about the fact that you can't update anything without
1000 reboots on Vista? Seriously.
Lead developer: WRONG WRONG WRONG YOU'RE WRONG.
Software developer: I'm telling the boss! I'm telling!
Director: Ugh... *puts down Halo* I'm REALLY busy right now, this better be important.
Software developer: Should I fix these bugs and issues with our ne-
Director: NO. I'm approving this right now, we'll slowly fix it up later with hideous updates
which will bring more problems after the old problems for a never ending cycle of buginess.
That's how I see it happening, there's no other way.

That right there is the whole problem with the corporation. I recently switched over to Firefox, and I'm so happy with it, I've picked up Thunderbird and dropped Outlook and IE entirely.

I use Firefox as well, but not Thunderbird... hmm maybe I'll go look it up. Ever since I switched, I groan when I see any other browser start up and refuse to use it. Argh!
I am really out of suggestions for zombies, ugh.. give me a few minutes
Okay that's a few minutes. Zombie power tools. No.. no no. Zombie telephones, they would go "uuuuuuuuughhhh" instead of ringing, and would translate anything coming from the other end to a zombie tone (but still understandable).

I prefer Safari to Firefox, but that's because for some reason Firefox runs much slower on my computer than Safari does. I only use Firefox when somethign comes up that Safari doesn't understand, which isn't very often.
I think food services would be improved by zombies. They'd be too concerned with just getting by and finding brain victims to be snarky or stupid.

I keep around IE for that same reason, some stuff just doesn't work in it, and the page specifically tells me to use it. Grrr
I think they end up doing that anyway *cinder blocked*. But the drivethru would be pretty awesome. It would take forever to get the order right.

Zombie: "Ugnnhnn"
Me: "Uh, yeah, can I get a large order of fries and a small sprite?"
Zombie: "Ugnnhnn"
Me: "Hello? Can you understand me?"
Zombie: "Braaaiiinnssss"
Me: "Uh, no, I'd just like some fries and a sprite."
Zombie: "BRAAAIIINNNNSSSS"
Me: "Look, let me speak to the manager!"
Zombie Manager: "Ugnnn. Brains!"
*I drive away*

Hey excuse me, what is this pink-blob stuff in my Happy Meal? I DID NOT order this! Oh my... *drives into the building* *pulls out* *drives into the building again*
Definitely, make it a zombie Easter Island head, oh man, that's another zombie-improvement. I don't know what they'd do but it'd be scary, as if they weren't nightmare inducing enough already.

That's for sure, though I don't know what it would do yet. Hmm.....
So it emits radiation, look scary, now maybe it slides around and groans at people. It's also indestructible.

Luckily, the Easter Island Head zombies move even slower than ordinary zombies.
University teachers would be improved by becoming zombies. It's rather irritating to have what is supposed to be the same course as your friend but to be doing completely different things.
This is the way it goes:
"I drew a bottle in my art class."
"Really? In mine we had to pose in ways reminiscent of a 'Tarzan' theme for the others to draw."
This is the way it SHOULD go:
"What do we do in Art 135 today?"
"Oh, we draw bottles and then the teacher tries to eat our brains again."
"Eat our brains? Again?"
"Mmmyup."
