Microsoft wants to stream your OS to you. Ignoring the whole "Microsoft" angle on this, I personally hate this idea. I miss the days when a computer was a standalone device that COULD connect to the Internet, but didn't have to. These days, so many things DEPEND on having that connection, and just flat out won't work without it. Maybe I'm a stodgy old guy, but can't we go back? I want my computer to with exactly the same online or offline.

@mike This approach is generally unpopular. ChromeOS is an example of how it evolved from an online-only OS to a full-fledged OS that retains the original lightweight OS but also supports Linux and Android containers that enable the use of common Linux applications and it pretty much ends up feeling like a Linux distro that happens to also run Android apps.
