Dunno about it's OS, but I love Steam's buy one sci-fi machine and a few crap ones then play a resources hungry game on any. As the game runs on the expensive one but is streamed to the ancient pathetic another machine.
It's not a new idea really, you can for example payperuse online mac if you need one for a brief time (macincloud.com). So you don't need to buy mac unless you'll use it frequently.
Steam allows you not to buy 2 or even more superexpensive machines because, for example, all your three kids want to have their own PC that can run anything.
Just think a bit what it could do in the future. You'd still have a phone or a tablet. With crappy SoC inside uncapable of running Drakensang on it's own. Yet it'll run Watch Dogs! Well, okay, not run but stream… The only question is how it'll look on the small screen, but they'll probably think of something.
