Microsoft is an office supply company. They got their niche by being cheaper and easier for the office worker. Bill Gates became the richest man in the world by selling EVERYONE a box of paperclips.
This is not sexy growth times. It's a boring business. You know, like most businesses that just make a steady profit.
Win32 will be around forever. It'll be like COBOL and Java. There's always buckets of money doing boring work no-one else wants to. It doesn't get you sexy startup cred with dancing VCs; it does get you a long-term living.
