If it's just for excel, word and browser work, I don't think MS will lose any customer even with Cloud OS.
But from monthly payment type of plans for OS, I don't think other than first world countries, it'll be much interest anyone.
In fact, some of the small business companies will move to linux or unix variants to save costs. After-all paying monthly for the sake of using OS, is financial leak. And any sane business benefits from closing such leak.
This will also help Apple and Linux, because developers will move to these OS, as not all the developers write code for profit. With locked in cloud OS, and developer certificates and subscription stuff, it only makes it expensive for coders to build stuff for MS from here onwards.
