I think it will be similar to Adobe AIR, that let's you to code a 'RIA'
(just a website with JS inside a sandbox based on webkit)... or not...
The key of that is that MS maybe will do an aproach to an Online OS, or
a website operated OS, or a similar idea, like chromeOS.

currently writing Chrome apps.

The graphical shell of the latest version of Gnome is also written in
JavaScript. Still the entry level for average JS coder to become Gnome
