They won't vanish, they will just become irrelevant. I see Facebook becoming like myspace in about 5 to 10 years but Microsoft won't disappear while everyone uses Windows.

Microsoft has already become a background, no one cares company. You pay your money for Windows and Office and maybe an Xbox and you get on with it; very few people are excited about them.

Facebook is getting there as well. It's a background tool for life, not front and centre.

I think complete irrelevance is a much more likely fate than vanishing.

Microsoft is in the background the way the government is in the background. They aren't losing power or viability, and you rely on them more than you may realize.

How would MS become irrelevant? Odds are you're on a MS OS. Your company probably runs primarily off of MS software. The most popular console in the US is a MS one. and MS has the most advanced/impressive cloud solutions positioning them well for the future. If you think MS is becoming irrelevant, you're probably not in touch with the world.
