I can see virtualisation becoming a big thing over the next couple of years but probably not in the desktop market, it's more likely to be used in the business sector. As you said, they are very slow to progress so it could be possible with more advanced virtualisation to move to something like Linux yet keep their older programs that are Windows-only working fine. With virtualisation, the program can have data copied out and into the parent OS and computers are now powerful enough to effectively have virtual environments. Time will tell, I suppose.
