Doubt it.
Not unless Android gets a lot more powerful, does some of the things Windows does, Multitasking, new interface, better Apps and new devices.
For instance the Padphone2 with a hwkbd, microSD, microHDMi, USB 3.0, 4GB RAM, Quadcore A15 cpu.... plus ew software.
Then yeah maybe.

Chrome OS and Android will mature and cross pollinate and will eventually create a single desktop -> mobile solution. This 11.6-inch ARM-based Samsung is another step in that direction. Google will get smart and widen the Chrome OS charter.
Four Google years is like ten Microsoft years.
