Warp already was a rescue attempt after OS/2 had initially failed. And as much as I liked some concepts in OS/2, it failed due to its flaws, not because of its 16 bit Windows compatibility - NT, which had a even greater compatibility layer and higher hardware requirements, eventually succeeded. Probably because they stole from VMS and Unix that time rather than let IBM (with precious little Mini and Workstation experience) reinvent the wheel from a mainframe perspective.

As far as Linux is concerned, it is a open system and can concurrently run software based on many different UI and API libraries - and so far, not even Windows VMs have had any negative impact. If any, hildonization of apps could be slowed down by the addition of a keyboard and USB OTG on the N810, which makes using vanilla Gnome and KDE apps more feasible.
