[Gates] owns the market.
Economic history is filled with tales of businesses that "owned the market," "had a lock on the market," or in some other way had it made.
The same was said about A & P grocery stores years ago. Sears is about one-fifth the size of Wal-Mart today.
Gates is personally set for life, yes. Microsoft itself has nowhere to go but down.

There is truth is your statement but I think we are going to have to wait a lot more years to watch MS's demise.
