I doubt they want to get rid of 3rd parties. but I bet that someone had a wet dream about "run-license-fees" in addition to money for development kits and MCSE batches. so, the future for M$ may be even MORE 3rd party developers - but unless they ship, say, $1 to M$ per copy sold, their software simply won't run. oops.
Good point. Do you think there is a critical mass point where developers would "just say no", though?
yes, there is. and I'm fairly sure at least one full-time person at M$ is busy on a study to find it.
