== History ==
However it never really died most remaining old Malco employees went on to found MS-OS that had very malco-like OS, which is itself succeeded by Microsoft.
Before March 2023, people were demanding a Malco return with hints and clues; there's also a meme about hoaxes and speculation that started in 2011 called "Malco Confirmed". One of the most important hints outside the meme is in 2015 April Fools, where Kimberly Jaber tweeted "It's a malfunction computer!", If you take the shorter name, it is mal-co. Even though it's an April Fools joke, people from around this time put this tweet up as a hint to a comeback of Malco, even today. This was until, on July 20, 2023, PowerOS former secondary CEO, Ernest Reyes, created a plan called "The Malco Restoration Plan", in which PowerOS would restore Malco. The plan, when it was announced, was called "The PowerOS Modernization Plan," which is to modernize PowerOS. This plan lasted until August 2023, and on August 4, 2023, PowerOS completed the Malco Restoration Plan.
On August 9, 2023, PowerOS announced that Malco would comeback on March 7, 2024. The trailer they posted was accompanied by the song "Ready for the Ride," sung by Oh, Hush! and Jeff Lewis for Disneyland Paris' 30th anniversary.
On August 18, 2023, they failed the Malco comeback due to the straw that broke the camel's back, and at 4 p.m., the Tucson campus was announced to be closed by August 21, 2023.
On August 19, 2023, Microsoft and PowerOS announced that Malco would come back on March 7, 2024, but as a separate company.
On August 22, 2023, all of PowerOS' stuff except Sean's monument was moved to the newly-built Malco headquarters in Believue, Washington. Mary Muse went off to work for Microcom, one of their purchased companies, and Ernest Reyes is going back to be the head of the 9x department at Microsoft Philippines for a while until he will be the CEO again, this time for Malco. The acting CEO for Malco from Reyes' departure to his return is Stephen Edwards, the former president and COO of PowerOS.
For August 2023, Malco hired 500,000 employees, doubled the market cap, demolished the PowerOS entity after 152 years, made a TV commercial, which is the trailer itself, and a billboard around WA and AZ, and announced the slogan is "Makes computing for the ride.".
On September 1, 2023, all the PowerOS subsidiaries, now turned into Malco subsidiaries after the shutdown, made their social media accounts and released the trailer. The first to make it was Malco France, followed by Malco Germany, then Spain, then Italy, the rest of the European countries, and the rest of the world.
On September 2, 2023, Ernest Reyes tweeted a video that people speculated about a PowerOS comeback with a caption that said, "Looks like PowerOS will make a comeback on Sept. 4 this year (2023)? Okay.".
On September 5, 2023, Stephen Edwards finally responded to the PowerOS relaunch, saying via a tweet that said, "What? PowerOS is gonna return on Sept. 9? This is so serious. It's like history repeats itself again. And also, the Gotham font? This font is imperial.". Also on the same day, Malco announced to the developers that they are soon to be working on a version of Vindaugus codenamed "Revival", with builds are rolling out every week, and Malco announced via a video on their social media that those builds are available to people who joined the newly-made Vindaugus Insider Program via the also newly-made Malco website.
On September 6, 2023, Malco made a short on YouTube and on TikTok, which is the short video of the comeback trailer, this short got 18 million views on YouTube and 52 million views on TikTok within the first day.
On September 7, 2023, Vindaugus developers compiled Vindaugus Codename Revival build R1.09, this is a the first build of revival line, with R stands for Revival. It features a new design language, new programs, and more. This build was available via the Vindaugus Insider Program that Malco created two days before.
On September 8, 2023, Malco had plans to bought The Horizon Company (THC), a day or two after the launch, but it was later denied by THC.
For September 2023, all the PowerOS subsidiaries, now turned into Malco subsidiaries after the shutdown, made their relaunch trailer, working on a version of Vindaugus codenamed Revival, made a short on their YouTube and TikTok accounts, and had plans to bought PowerOS (now known as The Horizon Company), but later denied by THC.

On September 30, 2023, Ernest Reyes was at the Microsoft's Mobile Professionals Developer Conference (MPDC) Philippines 2023 (which was live via the Microsoft Philippines' Facebook page) via a video call at the Manila House Airplane System. He was not here at the convention due to a fever last September 21. He talked about the first ever 9x port for Windows Phone.
For October 2023, they were only two updates, first is they had posted a post on their YouTube community tab thanking for reaching one billion views on the trailer video last September 17, and the second one is Ernest Reyes posted a tweet with a video about the Command Prompt introduced in Surface Phone 3 9x, and if you decipher the text (it is in Unicode), it is referencing Ash Ketchum from the Pokemon series. People are speculating that Ash Ketchum will return in Pokemon Horizons, the series without him, to the point where this tweet is trending, even the Malco keyword is trending as well.
On November 3, 2023, Malco internally made the products that they made during the PowerOS era, they internally split the 273,500 employees who don't worked for Vindaugus into five divisions, the "Phone", the "Computer", the "Tablet", the unnamed division, and the "Everything" division, working 54,700 employees each division. Malco internally said that these divisions will work everyday, they also said that they were going to do this last month, but it was delayed most likely due to the development of Vindaugus, and there is so many problems during the month before.
On November 19, 2023, tech news sources reported that Malco will possibly postpone the relaunch date of the company due to many delays, but Vindaugus is still pushing out builds every week.
On November 27, 2023, a Malco employee said that Malco will possibly shutdown at a unknown date.
On November 29, 2023, many Malco employees disagreed about the shutdown, saying that they wanted to possibly be merge or bought by The Horizon Company.
