Is there an actual technical reason for doing this besides the subscription model success? Better analytics?

  In _theory_ using a thin-client and booting into a cloud machine means you can "upgrade" your machine in a couple years w/o having to replace the thin-client. Could be easier for grandma, could reduce e-waste, will definitely be used to pigeon-hole us into an endless hell of subscription software.

    In practice it means your compute time is being micro-time sliced to the maximum so it will probably perform incredibly bad.
