They likely want to go subscription model where you have a thin client running locally and all the grunt done "on the cloud". You could have local storage and use of local graphics. Why sell O/S for £100 when you can rent it for £5 a month. No need for awkward updates and if people don't keep paying they lose access.

You could even have Linux locally to run the client. Or ChromeOS. Or Windows.
