It's not about transforming the current model ...

... I believe it is about extending it. I believe MS wants to broadly give users the ability to run Windows applications virtually from the cloud, on their PCs. Therefore people will be able to run Windows apps locally on their PCs, as well Windows apps virtually from the cloud. If e.g. there is a Windows app a person would like to access on a PC or device he is using, he will have the option of running it virtually if it is not installed on the PC / device he is using. This gives users a lot of flexibility. It means users could run custom Windows apps from work virtually on their home PCs or devices, or they could go to a web site and run a Windows apps virtually without having to install it.
