This time he is right. It could take 10 or more years though.
And, huge companies like Walmart will still be their own ISP and get a competitive advantave from that. A better way to put it might be that there will be no departmental servers in 10 years. People will be renting virtual partitions from an ISP, or creating their own if they are a huge corporation. Of course this will mean that Microsofts share of the market will shrink dramatically. ISPs rolling out thousands of computers will NOT want to dick with Microsoft. If they use .Net, they will make sure it is deployable on Mono.
