Unlikely, unless we start offering free email or setting every copy of Windows to use Wikipedia as its default home page.
We are getting close. Microsoft is using its autoupdate tool to push the MSIE 7.0 to its dron^wcustomers. People will have the "option" to "chose" for different search providers for the upper right search form (maybe you have seen this in FF already). One of the offered search tools is Wikipedia.
This should - however - not stop us from creating an offline tool that could be installed instead of Encarta for OEMs...

Just persuade some popular OEMs to ship new PCs with a shortcut to Wikipedia on the desktop; that'd be enough.
