Lol, what? Just about every single government agency and most of corporate America is fully reliant on Microsoft software for their office suite, database management tools, SDEs, etc.

That dependency and collapse of financial systems is way different.
Keep in mind that if Microsoft dies, their software does not immediately die. It will be replaced before windows fully dies.
