It will be what Microsoft decide it to be in.

BTW, chances are high that Window 8 will not make it. Customers tend to
refuse MS OSes when advantages are unclear, e.g. Me, Vista. XP had it very
hard in the beginning.

No. Due to opening a new market the technology (rather lack of) is
returning to the point where it was 20-30 years ago. Such retreats always
happen when there is no pressure to improve quality or safety.

In 10 years software development will recover things it managed to forget
now. Not for the first time. Remember how multi-tasking was forgotten when
PCs came? Microsoft "discovered" that decades later.

Nope. Machine in the hands of a savage is scrap metal.
