Not while anyone wants to run Windows in a VM, they won't.

  If that were the sole issue, I can't imagine getting a hardware virtualization solution like QEMU up to par would require too much work.

  You can bet Microsoft will make Windows 8 ARM compatible. They don't want to lose the tablet market and since Intel is having such a hard time getting into that market, they can't simply rely on them. And if you're going to suggest WP7 for tablets, don't. Microsoft will only do that in worst case scenario if Windows 8 will prove to not be good enough for tablets. They don't want to get $10 per license when they could get $50, and that's especially true if touch/mobile computing will replace desktop computing.

    The way Microsoft has handled the mobile market for the past 15 years, it seems likely that they'll go through at least two or three more mobile operating systems before the market can decide whether x86 belongs in handheld devices.
