It could also develop as follows.

all browsers go under. MS IE becomes dominant. MS adds (actively is) extentions to http and other protocols. MS discontinues IE, http, and other protocols. A new product called Universe Consolidator (UC!), touted by MS as the absolute best innovation ever to take place. MS charges $109 for those who upgrade from IE, $209 for those who buy it new. UC has one DLL that's 126 Megabyte in size, which basically contains windows OS. BackOffice becomes integrated and a necessary component to run UC! which is required to run windows.

All the while, that secret radio manufacturer still has a good share of car radio market. MS integrates a car into its OS. MS radio is needed to run the car (remember?). To surf the net, you have to have your car's engine running while that MS radio is on.
a whole market of third party developers emerge to solve the problems that are going to appear....
