With more people using computers to browse the interwebs, check emails, listen to music, watch the odd movie and play a simplastic game, the need for gigantic OSes is diminishing. People who use gigantic OSes and need them will always exist, but for a lot of people a simple and swift OS that can easily let them connect to the Internet is all they will ever need. Google will provide this, and any necessary services can be streamed via the tubes from Google's servers.
I personally do more of my stuff online, including work, I don't play PC games, and GCC (and maybe some IDE) is about as much as I'll ever need if I wanted to get my hands dirty.
My current desktop is a similar setup. I got Linux+X+GNU+Fluxbox+Chromium and that's all I need.
* I'm not predicting the demise of Windows. I just wanted a dramatic title. That is all!
