Propably. Ofcourse all pictures would still be, in pixels. But all the windowing
elements should be vectors.
It will propably take alot of time, before anything like this can be
implemented.

By that time, OpenGL would be possibly a good target. Right now, it's very bad for subnotebooks, where 3D acceleration either doesn't work correctly when it's running on internal power only (like some Transmeta+ATI based machines), or it can drain the battery within 1/10th of its normal running time (like my SIS here). I think it's also bad for more powerful laptops.
