I’m not sure why the end of shrink wrap software will dramatically impact Microsoft. As the author goes on to state, they’ve been involved in similar efforts. So it’s hard for me to see them beign caught by surprise on this. “Free” apps tha work as well as Microsoft’s suite will certainly have an impact, but the delivery vehicle won’t be why.
