From Wheeler,

"...if they don’t hurry, Microsoft could conceivably find their Office suite slowly moving into the dumpster with WordStar, VisiCalc, Lotus 1-2-3, dBase, and other former office leaders. That would be mind-boggling, but it’s occurred many times before -- who would have thought that any of those predecessors would stumble? I don’t think that’ll happen in this case, at least not so quickly, but it’s certainly a risk unless Microsoft changes direction. That would be horrific for them; Office is 40% of their revenue, and one of the primary reasons people use their operating system (which accounts for most of the rest of their non-investment income)."
