The big difference, as I understand it, is that traditionally, Adobe would release a new version and then all the updates would basically be bug and compatibility fixes until the next version. The traditional perpetual license fell under certain regulations which prevented the adding of features between releases. Now, with the cloud, they will also be able to add new features as they go along instead of waiting for a new version to release them since it falls under a subscription model.
