I disagree.

Unless by OS you mean OSX/ARM, Android, WM7, etc

I see there being 3 computer systems people will use in the future. The small screen / communication device (Think iPhone/Android. fine for email, facebook, communication) The Big screen device. PVR/Set-top box/xbox/Apple TV. Consuming major media content/games/video The workstation. This is for content creation. Writing essays. Editing Videos. Recording Music. Photoshop. etc.

Number 1 and 2 run OS's - but you don't really see them. Number 3 is the computer as we know it - but most people don't need that! I think the computer market / OS's will exist - but they will/are declining in popularity. I don't see them being taken over by webOS etc, because I don't need a computer for that - I need an iphone.
