You obviously didn't read.
First, there is absolutely no technical reason the X1 couldn't run a full version of Windows as an OS upgrade, to provide an alternate bootup option. Drivers would have to be written, and a few considerations taken with font scaling defaults/etc so that it looks good on a TV, but it is easily possible given the specs and architectures we're looking at. This is NOT enabling full windows on the current X1 OS, this is more akin to a dual-boot idea.
Second, this is a hypothetical 'what would it mean' to be able to run all regular windows programs and games on the X1.
