We have that already. I write programs for Linux and release them on
Windows by expending no effort beyond typing "make windows".

Web 2.0 emerged due to two things:

a) Developers are grossly incompetent. They are too damn stupid to
   even recognize a correct solution when they see it, much less to
   use one.

b) Ease of deployment. The existing web platform could be used to
   distribute applications without expending much effort.

c) Centralized control.

Being tired of Microsoft has nothing whatsoever to do with it.
