I suppose that depends on how many people migrate to a non-Microsoft tablet device as their only computer.  And if large numbers do so, the paradigm of the personal (desktop or tablet) computer as a commercial platform will surely become general.  And I wonder how Microsoft et al will cater for non-personal users?

I migrated to SuSE Linux 9.1 around 15 years ago, and updates for the "Evergreen" version 11.4 have been published continually since March 2011.  Unfortunately that version has a glitzy user-interface known as "Plasma" which can be configured around, but it resulted in code-fork known as Trinity which maintains the Windows-7 type UI.

There should be an opening for a Linux tablet device...
