A neat article with tidbits by Thomas Holtz, Paul Sereno, and other experts. Short answer: dinosaurs would still be ruling Earth, but they wouldn't be much like the ones from the Cretaceous. No Tyrannosaurus rex, but rather a descendent with thicker plumage and perhaps no arms whatsoever.

Here I thought they'd become farmers, and somehow humans would still evolve. Guess I was wrong.

"Well, the answer in short is we humans probably never would have evolved to ask such a question."
-Paul Sereno

This is an interesting read indeed.
Actually, this question is nearly  as old as dinosaur palaeontology itself.
I love the ideas of Dougal Dixon´s classic book "The New Dinosaurs".
And of course there is the iconic picture of the Troondotid that evolved into something quite human-like.
