That's an interesting speculation, especially considering that the Open CL standard was finalized in record time and will be implemented in OS X Snow Leopard, released sometime this year. MS is working on similar things for Direct X, but I don't know how far along they've come. I still don't think there will be a synthesis of approaches you seem to suggest. MS will push their own solution, and pretty much all others will go for Open CL. So there will be at least two competing approaches, but who really knows what's going to happen? All we can say for certainty is that parallel is the world of tomorrow, even moreso than today.
