To really beat this analogy into the ground, I think that Microsoft's
draconian licensing policies (falling water levels), the rise of Linux
and OS X (competition for food), and the current economic climate
(asteroid),
may be enough to bring this about.
Only time will tell (hopefully not sooner than aeons).

Omit needless words.
Vigorous writing is concise.
A sentence should contain no unnecessary words,
a paragraph no unnecessary sentences,
for the same reason that a drawing should have
no unnecessary lines and
a machine no unnecessary parts
