AC is right on the money there. Open-source software has come such a long way that Microsoft products and business are entirely avoidable these days, and therefore are no longer a threat. Google is the true danger of the age because they're fast on the way to make off-line applications obsolete altogether and render the open-source vs. closed source debate moot, as we'll have to swallow their online applications shenanigans without being able to do a thing about it.
