You are probably right about Win8. (MS had to scale back their plans considerably in the last couple of years.) But you are just pulling that 10 years number our of your place where the sun don't shine. It could be 2, or it could be 42. The only real incentive MS has to keep Win32 alive is Microsoft Office. Once that makes the conversion to .Net, I'd say all bets are off. All of their other major accounts already use .Net. (I'm sorry to say, Makemusic is probably not a major account!)
