End of OpenSource then?

I presume this signifies the end to OpenSource projects and GPL on Windows then, as I presume the people who can develop Windows Cloud applications will be restricted. I presume it will cost a lot more money for a server to host cloud applications than GPL developers can afford, and possible have major restrictions on what you can do with it (like the restrictions Microsoft have applied to the ribbon technology (which btw I think looks appalling and is just too confusing to use)
