Microsoft cannot just take that market, but they can, and in time, probably will fight for it.
There's constraints of display/keyboard size, and the form-factor encourgaes different usages (eg. less business software).
But I think people might start to dock their smartphones to large displays and keyboards at home (that's what I do with my netbook) - like a portable harddrive. Projectors might also become popular, giving a large portable display.
Or, future desktops might actually be smartphone components, wrapped in a desktop package (in the way microcomputers invaded the workstation, minicomputer and mainframe markets).
