Considering the use-cases, multi-tasking operating systems are not necessarily going to escape the trend toward information appliances.
In my opinion, if the workstation does survive, than a posix style OS similar to the abandoned HeliOS will become necessary again at some point... as Moore's law is effectively dead, and a 15% context-switching overhead on existing threading and mailbox models is silly.
