I don't think that day will come not because of Microsoft but because of
anti-trust legislation particularly in the EU. Anytime Microsoft adds
something to the OS that there is already a third party solution it seem the
EU slaps a fine on or demands that it not be included in any OS version
released in Europe.

You have somewhat better luck with Apple since the European Commission
doesn't seem to see any problem with Apple adding features to the OS.

Note: I own both Windows and Apple computers so don't think I'm OS bashing
here.
