That's IMHO the best scenario we can hope for, though it doesn't seem promising even to pessimists like me.

My updated edit has an even better scenario that I just conjured up. Essentially bringing Windows 365 (cloud desktop) to home thin clients, netbooks, or even STBs like the series S.

The Series S (and its descendants) would be a hell of a versatile system as a cloud desktop with official licensing and support from MS.
