I think that's an optimistic way of looking at it. Another way is that the people who create these devices will just limit their specs to be below Microsoft's requirements.
I think this is amongst the first time MS has directly had to respond to Linux as a threat on the desktop though.

Emacs + Firefox + a terminal is really all you need.
