What are people going to run on their computers?

In that scenario, as with Android dominating on smartphones, probably Linux. But desktop Linux isn't yet equivocal, and IMO, likely never will be.
Personal computers are on their (slow) way out. Phones provide good enough connectivity and communications for a lot of people. If you can only afford one, most people would choose a phone rather than a computer.

Business computers are still needed for office workers, for now.

Well it's not going to happen overnight, but my guess is a slimmed down OS that runs a powerful web-browser.
MacOS and ChromeOS.
