We will see real computer programs coming from other sources more and more. As their monopoly fades, and Linux based materials permeate the computing world, much improvement will be seen, notably, fewer and fewer "Blue screens of Death" and frozen, overloaded hard drives that need servicing. Most innovation will come from India, China and Europe, who do not subscribe to Microsoft's "Programming with strings attached" methodology and prefer systems like Ubuntu, in "open Source" format. The tax Microsoft wished to impose on the world of computing will not be tolerated by third world people - they simply cannot afford it!
