I would say that in a few years time Microsoft will be heavily indebted for its bare survival, on projects like OpenOffice.org, Mono, wine and ReactOS - because they're F/LOSS projects that do make use of the Win32API and DotNET - Microsoft will wind up being a retailer of a few high-cost development tools and a good part of their cash flow will be dependent on the people they have intimidated into paying for irrelevant and totally useless software patent licenses.
