With some 700K developers today (IBM's rather wild estimate), Java will be a major force tomorrow. It fits with the paradigm of component software on the web; no reason you will be restricted to the contents of your codebloated suiteware. But I do not predict the eclipse of Windows. There is alot of room out there. Perhaps you have noticed that you increasingly download your software from the net rather than purchase it at the mall. That trend will continue and will favor Java.
