Just announced Xbox One backward compatibility to Xbox 360. Time to get an Xbox One, I suppose.
I assume you have a good and stable online connection to play the streamed 360 games on Xbox One.
Aren't they downloaded to the console? Not streamed?
No, because then they'd have to convert the games to run on Xbox One. This works by just having the dev's allow the bc for a game to be added. No extra development work is needed, so it can only be streamed.

"Gamers will have two ways of playing old games that are part of the backward-compatible initiative. If users already purchased the games digitally through Xbox Live, they can simply log in and re-download the game on Xbox One without paying any additional cost. If they own the game as a disc, they'll have to download the game to their Xbox One hard drive, and the system will then check for the disc before launching the game."

Seems unlikely, the source is also unsure how it works technically. So I'm curious if it really works without an online connection doing at least some of the work...

You need an online connection to download the game, then its on your console. You can then play it offline. Nothing is streamed.
It's not rocket surgery.
Also, you said you believe that the console itself cannot play the game.
How would you then expect the console to be able to emulate a streamed game? It makes no sense. Of course the Xbox One is capable of running the games itself.

It sounds like rocket science to you though. The console itself does not emulate a streamed game. It uses cloud computing(you know, one of MS big favorites). The Xbox One shouldn't normally be able to run 360 games because emulating them is very demanding for the hardware and the One doesn't have the 360 hardware to run it natively. So streaming(part of) the game using cloud computing sounds very likely.

Wow, you sure seem to have a deep understanding about how all this works, even though the word "streaming" was never mentioned by the people at Microsoft once in regards to this matter. They said the games can be "downloaded".
Around 30 minutes ago you were saying that the collection of Rare games should be released on the Wii U, seemingly oblivious to the fact that Microsoft owns all those games now, yet now you are trying to explain how this scenario works? Even though Microsoft themselves said the games are "downloaded"?? lol

I mean, just because you say it shouldn't doesn't mean it can't. Say they rework the games so they can run on the One (as they showed with Mass Effect) and they run that version you downloaded while it just has the software to look at your disc and say "Yep. That's Mass Effect for the 360 in the drive. I'll run the Mass Effect 360 download now."
I own a PS1, GBA, GBA SP, Wii (GCN), 360, 3DS, PC (Laptop), Wii U, and PS4.
I used to own a GBC, PS2, and DS Lite

They can say certain things, but leave out others. Not uncommon for MS. Around 30 minutes ago I was sarcastic. It would actually be logical to have the games downloaded so they can use cloud processing for the hardware but use local downloaded assets to not put much as much strain on the network. But perhaps they have found some Windows10/DX12 trick to emulate everything offline. I'm skeptical though.

They aren't reworking the games. Developers will have to do no extra work, they only need to grant permission for the game to run in BC.
The statement "They should release this on Wii U too. Most of the games are from Nintendo consoles." in regards to the Rare collection isn't sarcasm. Do you know how sarcasm works? <--- I'm not being sarcastic.
Basically you want something to hate Microsoft over, and are choosing to ignore what they said in regards to downloading 360 and XBL games to the Xbox One and are making up some bizarre cloud streaming scenario in your mind to justify your beliefs.
Sony said PSNow was a streaming service when it was launched. It is. Microsoft said you can download previously owned titles to your Xbox One. You are choosing to believe they are lying and that it is a streaming service for some strange reason.
@SuperWiiU
So why is it impossible for the Xbox One to play 360 games natively? And I mean truly impossible, as in, there's no way they could do it.
It's not impossible, but emulation is very hardware demanding and usually requires much faster hardware than the original system. They gap between the 360 and One however isn't that big and the architecture of the hardware is different(like the intel powerpc to AMD x86-64 processor), that also makes it harder to emulate. It's almost like running Wii U games on PS4.
Wow i'm not gonna read all the posts in front of me. I'm just going to say the Microsoft E3 conference made me want to buy an Xbone holy crap. Guess i better save up and stop buying those stupid Amiibo's.
The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.
I'm currently playing Resident Evil 4 Remake & Manhunt

What does any of this have to do with the fact your are purposely ignoring the fact that Microsoft said you can download 360 and previously purchased XBL titles onto your Xbox yet you believe that they are actually just streaming the games and that Microsoft is lying?

Still actively trolling I see. I only said that it is unlikely and at first I had not heard that the games could be downloaded. This also wasn't mentioned in the articles I read like the one on Eurogamer.
And it is still possible like I said above that it offloads some work to cloud computing to make the games run smoothly as it is hard to emulate it offline. Now shut up and stop trolling.

I'm not trolling though.

Literally the second response to you was @kyuubikid213 posting a quote and a link explaining how this would work and that you downloaded the games (no streaming) and your initial response was to dismiss those claims. So don't pretend like you were uninformed from the start.
Someone calling you out isn't trolling either. Just like saying you wish the Rare Collection was on Wii U wasn't sarcasm
