Nothing is going to instantly kill Microsoft. When Microsoft dies, it’s going to be a slow decline that takes decades. Look at Novell. In the 80’s they were the Microsoft of the day. Everyone switched to Microsoft servers in the early 90’s. Almost 20 years later, they’re still around, groping for new business models to survive. Microsoft is also way too embedded is way too many corporate systems to die fast. Look at Mainframes and COBOL, both of which became obsolete in the 80’s; but because so many companies had so much software running on Mainframes and COBOL, not only are those systems still around, but the original companies still survive by charging for support on those old products. What’s more, IBM and others still manufacture mainframes in order to replace the ones from the 70’s as they become too slow to keep up with modern demands.
