But to answer the parent poster's question, if you were developing a new piece of manufacturing/warehouse solution, would you write it as a native windows app or would you target web or mobile? Is the claim that manufacturing/warehouse software is and will be on windows... forever?

Of course they wouldn't. They would either do it on the web or mobile. My first .Net job was writing Windows mobile apps for field technicians and factory workers on ruggedized devices. I've since written software for field service workers for Android tablets. They definitely weren't going to be carrying around Windows laptops.
