Doubtful. The UI paradigms are too far off. MS tried to take a step in this direction with metro on win8 and I would dare say it was a very unsuccessful execution. OSX has done well so far, even with macs being a single digit percentage of desktop and laptops. Why change a winning team now that it is expanding into the double digit percentages of the market? Equivalently, iOS did extremely well because it was designed from scratch for small touch screen devices, where others - like Nokia - were running with a "small desktop OS" - the symbian browsers even had a virtual mouse pointer that you had to clumsily navigate with a D-pad.
