As long as Microsoft is still writing the operating systems, the machines will still need humans to operate them. :)

The Terminator, as far as I know, didn't use Microsoft software. It was originally Apple // machine language code or hex dumps. Later on in Terminator 2, the designer of the Terminator chip was using Atari ST computers. I think eventually they chose to use Linux and then the machines go so smart they didn't need humans anymore. :)
