Perhaps I'm biased by being in a country where a general term for smartphone is BlackBerry (like Hoover for vacuum cleaner in the UK or duck tape for heavy duty Sellotape (hah!) in the US) but I think people would rather return to BlackBerrys than trust Microsoft not to do another Vista.
Practically it won't happen. There's no gain to the US economy or its people if iPhone and/or Android devices disappear. Even Microsoft would likely make less money than they do today.
