In many ways this vision is why I believe in ChromeOS.
I don't believe you'll ever see desktops with ChromeOS on it. But I think the line between Desktop and everything else will blur to the point that desktops will eventually stop existing (and I think it will happen much faster than the 20 years this author predicts)
At that point the laptop won't be a desktop replacement as much as it will be a way to quickly and reliably take a little bit of functionality with you. So while your TV and your table and your walls will be your home computing devices the laptop will be something that you want to just open up and do a few discrete functions on.
When you look at it that way ChromeOS' priorities are in the right place. Speed, simplicity almost to a fault and highly redundant.
