When the cost of hardware drops and, assuming system requirements stay
steady, the cost of software will be forced to drop too.
I don't see why this would be the case.
Over the years,
hardware has become cheaper, yet commercial software becomes more
expensive.
As this trend continues, commercial software will perish and give way to
OSS
and services.
I think there will always be a market for commercial software.

OSS will reach every niche in the software world and there will be no space
for proprietary software [is one such myth which needs to die].
