What made PC big in the first place was compatibility between vendors. I don't think any of those companies will be sacrificing the compatibility anytime soon. Even if Microsoft was to release a vertically integrated product it would be more like Intel's NUC and Ultrabook branding, a guideline for OEMs on how to build good systems. Similarly Microsoft hasn't gone into war with Lenovo, Dell, HP and Asus by selling Surface laptops.
