Cloud PCs with Windows 365 | What it is and how it works

[@grammotron]

I like how Microsoft is open for every ecosystem. He changed to his iPad! This made me smile

[@PRN_Oxy]

Hopefully this service isn't limited to businesses/business use only. As a standard consumer, I'd absolutely pay for a subscription to have a personal cloud PC. It's a no-brainer, especially since I could just connect to it with a non-Windows tablet. All the benefits of powerful hardware without the laptop-like sacrifice of battery life. It'd be great for school!

[@joxok]

Feedback noted! At this time the service is targeted to business and education needs but we are seeing growing asks for consumers/individuals. Stay Tuned!

[@SuHwak]

@@joxok Just leave out Minecraft, Candy Crush, 'curated' news and other junk please! I want the OS to be just that, if I need anything else I'll download it myself. Actually, never mind, I'm upgrading to MacOS soon. Don't need to be connected to have amazing performance then with the M1 chip.

They made a lot of business-oriented apps and services available to consumers recently, so I would not be surprised when Windows 365 comes to consumer side in 2022.

[@SkipperGoesDark]

I bought a Office 365 license and would assume I can use Windows 365 with it. Essential, Windows 365 is just a Azure service using your Azure AD. So no business needed.

[@notreallyme425]

I was really skeptical of this, but after watching I could see how my company could really use this for our remote sales force. It could probably really help with network segmentation and reduce fishing attacks and ransom ware too. I’m more interested in finally being able to completely switch to Linux and run the two Windows programs that I really need that won’t run on Linux. I wonder how much the lowest spec Win365 vm will cost.

Most of the 285 comments seem to be from Microsoft staff. But here's a real question - anytime you lose cloud connectivity or have a very slow or flaky connection such as in many hotels, what happens, or what if I need to work offline?

I actually envisioned Windows 365 many years ago, but my concern was always the network. If 5G has been looking for a killer app, this is it. Also, the environmental benefits are also a major advantage, hardware will last longer because you will do everything up in the cloud. Its just that, its gonna be a long transition moving over the 5G capable devices.

[@various2012]

At one point in the video they said they are working on a "Reset" option. I guess this means go back to a clean state - like when the pc was delivered to you - but with your data intact. Another guess is that your company admins will probably restrict your ability to install unmanaged software (not present in the company software catalog) on it...

[@bigh1708]

It's been a long wait for something like this. This is what I imagined in 2013 when cloud was really kicking off.

[@ozcinemarob]

Absolutely brilliant, will certainly be raising this in our next budget meeting for implementation. The cost savings on not having to upgrade hardware on user Laptops/PCs at intervals will certainly be a solid business case to move to this model. The management of users/devices will also be massively simplified, not to mention inherent security that this model creates. Well done !

[@MSFTMechanics]

Since the Cloud PC is in the internet, the connections to any online services are hyper-fast. In the video we show 5ms ping, 10Gbps download and 4Gbps upload as an example. You just need to remote the screen with your local connection, so if you can stream a movie, you'll have a great experience from the browser or apps for Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.

Any recommendations on adding some type of Azure storage to a group of Windows365 desktops? The goal is to use Azure AD Join and no fileserver. Like a small office where everyone needs to access a shared QuickBooks company file, one of the Win365 desktops will be the admin with the QB Database Manager running and the other will just need access to the company file. So far, I have created an Azure Storage account, a share and connected to it on the Win365 desktops with PowerShell. The problem seems to be latency. Unlike our experience with AVD and a files server, the storage is too slow. Thoughts or suggestions?

[@tor3203]

What about installing application? How would the licensing work? What If application is node lock or floating license?

@Microsoft Mechanics Two quick questions about Win365 Enterprise. How do you backup each desktop? How do you manage non-Microsoft software updates at scale? i.e update QuickBooks on 500 Win365 Desktops without logging into each system? Thanks!

[@MSFTMechanics]

You would use software distribution tools like Intune, Configuration Manager or others, like you would for local installs. GPO or scripting another option for bulk automation. Since these are user persistent VMs, you normally wouldn't roll out apps with image updates, but that is also possible if your policies enforce off-disk file storage.
