This is the direction Android will go in. I am pretty sure that in five years most people will have one smart phone that they dock at home to have access to large screens and keyboard/mouse. The laptop as we know it will be replaced by laptop shells with a smart phone dock.
And those phones will run Linux with the Android UI and drivers.
I believe tiling window managers would be fantastic productivity boosters for enterprise use. Less distractions for the worker bees.

You seem to assume Android is just another Linux distro with a different windows manager? If so, you are mistaken. An Android system is very different from a Linux distro - they basically only share the kernels and it is quite wrong to classify Android as "Linux" because it creates confusion.
The Linux kernel and Android kernel have already become one again, and I suspect that the community will narrow the gap further.
Right now they mainly just share the kernel. If the GNU tool chain is included and you can compile and run linux programs, what is the difference besides some architectural changes?
That works for hackers but for non-techies that aren't willing to put any time and effort into re-learning the basics.
What I hope to see is more tiling windowing features on mainstream user interfaces for the intermediate users.
