I don't think Microsoft are going anywhere soon, if at all. They are too established in the corporate world and while there are still I.T managers that have the philosophy of 'I won't get fired for buying IBM' then there will be a requirement for developers to make software for them.

What they have done last week is a massive step, but its just one step and many more need to be taken to catch up on lost ground.
