I'm kind of wondering what it will be like too. Maybe they'll adapt Windows 8 to be great for both tablet and PC use, and keep Windows Phone 7 and its successors on phones. Maybe they'll expand WP7 onto tablets, and keep the ARM Windows for eventual ARM notebooks. I don't really know, but I'm curious as to what their strategy is.

from what I have heard MS doesn't have any current plans to bring Win Phone 7 to tablets (I think they probably should) currently. And Windows 7 will fully integrate touch/gesture controls and possibly have a specialised touch interface and add in ARM support and it looks like that is the direction they are heading. I have even heard rumours that MS are thinking of bringing win 8 to phones!

I wonder if Microsoft might make it an all-in-one system that can be easily specialized for phone, tablet, PC or whatever. I hope they'll continue to support the WP7 style of OS if they decide to replace it with W8 though.

Well with projects like Minwin the 25MB version of the windows kernel that can run with just 40MB of RAM etc it certainly sounds like that is the direction they seem to be taking. Whether that is a smart move considering the bloat that would be added by that solution over a dedicated mobile OS who knows.
