For Windows you always need a bit of licensing special to every case.
-
Windows desktop virtualization is called VDI and is one set of licensing.
Remote desktops from Windows servers is totally fifferent licensing.
-
But cloud itself is just an architecture. So you can do cloud for free. And things like Linux on cloud require no licensing.

What would the benefits of using VDI be for personal use?

No that is generally something that you would do in business. The main reasons for VDI is centralization and virtualization. If you needed virtualization at home, you would just setup a free hypervisor like KVM

One thing we're going to likely see in the future is VDI for gaming. You'll play games from your mobile device or your whatever device and it will really be running in a VDI in some DC somewhere.
While it's not wide spread for consumers yet, it very likely will be, just consumers won't realize it.

That would be considered SaaS not a VDI.

I doubt it, with so many SaaS services for gaming already available, doing an IaaS one seems unlikely. Who would want that?

Very interesting to know that there are many services in the cloud.
