I really think Open Source will not only change the software landscape, but also the way people think about it. Already we see that traditional ways of doing business are not always sufficient; for instance, increasingly, price and features are not the only criteria anymore.
There's only so much time Microsoft can influence the market by sheer brute force (offering huge discounts), especially since their not exactly strong in the areas where Open Source excels, and that have the attention of companies, governments and universities alike: openness, reliability, excellent support and continuity, to name a few.
