It could also develop as follows. Or howabout this: A hardware company comes up with a programming language they say will change the whole world and make all software great and all existing software for other platforms obsolete. They spend a huge amount of money to get a hype machine working, trying to get people to develop these applications which are a generation behind existing software. The hardware manufacturer also - get this - wants you to give up your machine with a hard disk so you can't store anything locally or run the programs you already have spent millions of dollars using and training your people on. Instead, they want you to buy machines that can ONLY run applications written in their language, and they only work when connected to servers made by them also! Then, after they convince a lot of people, the biggest software companies that have bought into this scheme realize they can't actually develop the software they want using this system! No, I guess that's just absurd.
