Eric Raymond was predicting this a couple of years ago, though I can't find
a link to the article. When hardware manufacturers stop shipping microsoft
apps, microsoft profits will fall dramatically. Their stock price will
fall, and they will lose all of their programming staff as they realize
they don't have to stay to keep their options... sometime later, total heat
death of the universe.
