I would say windows IoT would be the most likely to be prepackaged with new systems, since it'll likely be a rolling changeover.
I'd expect that within 5 years that pretty much all home and business PCs running windows will be thin clients

Can't imagine it being the case, thin clients have existed for a very long time and Cloud PC is nothing revolutionary just an additional offering from Microsoft.
Not to mention private consumers will not pay subscription for OS that in long run is a lot more expensive and worse HW that they probably already have.
