Where will Oscilloscopes and DMM's be in 10yrs ?

The scope wouldn't get in your way, and its use would be 10X more ergonomic.
But no. I'm asking too much.

We actually included a VESA mount on the new MXO4 oscilloscope :)

That's great (seriously). But the MXO4 is not really a scope that private customers can buy.. At least not a good 99% of them.

Please add VESA holes to the next iteration of the RTB2000 (or however it'll be called).

Despite being screaming fast (4.5M waverforms /sec) the new MXO4 is also whisper quiet - like, "is it on?" quiet. We're very proud of that :)
As a T&M instrument manufacturer, we get a LOT of feedback about acoustic levels: you might be surprised how important "quiet" is to a lot of customers. Over time, I think (audio) noise level is going to become a much more important differentiator when it comes to instrument purchases.

I agree. Nowadays test equipment that has huge fans + noise is just a no-go. A couple of decades ago I brought my own (huge) Tektronix DAS9200 logic analyser to work. I set it up on my desk and turned it on. My co-worker that sat across my desk wasn't happy because the huge amount of air coming from the back of the logic analyser blew all the papers from his desk quickly.
As I'm a getting a bit older I also start to become more annoyed by noisy equipment. Typically I don't want to have equipment with fans on longer than strictly necessary.
