What is the Windows App? + GPU support coming to Windows 365

[@omargarcia4603]

I want this so that I can finally move to Ubuntu with no fear of losing windows programms

[@LucaTake]

I want to make the same move, but to a Samsung tablet or Chromebook device.

[@AlexBulo4kin]

especially for you apple made app porting tool on Sonoma for M chip Macs for intel we have bootcamp(its tool to launch windows as second OS native on Mac) and we have wine (windows emulator)

[@boast1570]

Great stuff MSFT! Rendering 180+ Frames with GPU, but really.... displaying 30-60fps locally? What's the max framerate of the display protocol the new Windows App uses? If it's 60+, this could give some good uses cases for us to finally move people off VMware Horizon! Creatives really like local GPU like experiences.

[@duanemccullough2273]

The upgrade is appreciated; however, for those not using Cloud infrastructure, the desire to use the program for simple remote access to local on-premises servers or other computers remains. I have installed the Windows App on my Mac, which allows me to remotely connect to other computers. Why do I need Microsoft 365 access on Windows to use what was once a straightforward classic version? All Should be utilized the same.

[@aijokker]

What happens if your internet is out?

[@br4infrezz339]

i hope the cloud pc work nice with android tablet, because its great for work. no need 1,5kg laptop no more 😊

[@rizle]

It renders alot of frames - what is the actual fps locally? It looks like ~20fps

[@Mr.Mazhar]

yes, that is the point actually :)

[@sguploads9601]

Its actually prblem of both a codec in cloud (nobody knows what they are using), intenet speed and what decoding you have on client (and it also can suck in case if it av1 fro example).

[@Samossam]

How expensive would that be?

[@karmaduq]

Sooo... remote desktop. And not *your* desktop, like one running at home that you can get to elsewhere which you can already do if you know how, but a VM somewhere that you pay for in addition to whatever you normally run.

[@TechGuyWiz]

Yes but the question i cant seem to get answered if you have three W365 instances would they be on the same network (LAN) and be able to share files and folders via the application?

[@SteveStowell]

Yeah. Why would you not

[@voxtelnismo]

Im pretty sure w365 supports full SDN. I mean compared to what they’re showing, that’s easy.

[@gunnerafq2413]

Can we install such as steam and other gaming platforms?

[@JoaquinVacas]

Is this going to be available for personal usage instead of just business/enterprise?

[@simonsays2159]

enterprise only probably

[@Fataha22]

Let's go! AI training + game cloud became one!

[@bandzgangg]

does it recognize an usb when connecting through an iphone, mac, or android?

[@gamereactz]

Would love this on samsung Dex@

[@aijokker]

So funny when people from microsoft using macs as personal computer)

[@MizanurRahman_mihun]

Windows app made intended to access from any device and able to use as per any required environment. The man used here mac to show the capability of windows app on mac device. They have done it intentionally not by mistake. Just chill, dear.

[@prasaddd]

🗿

[@aijokker]

@@MizanurRahman_mihun he said it was his mac) just chill and enjoy the show

[@voxtelnismo]

This may blow your mind but some Microsoft servers are running on Linux. Because they are adults.

[@sol_xz]

How are they gonna test the app if they use a surface and another windows based device ? Duhhh xD

[@malindaranaweera3138]

how to download this wallpaper

[@ijahongirmirzo]

now, it is time to buy a mac without thinking about windows:/

[@amazingsensei4145]

I never saw people try to use mac .

[@blirt1653]

Why would someone use AVD over W365?

[@agautvik]

Multi session host :)

[@takeguard]

Licensing cost probably - AVDmultisession host with 8 users vs 8 individual instances of W365 is probably quite considerable over time. The use case depends on the needs of the organisation I suppose.

[@loganrussell]

RemoteApp support

[@maxspock87]

how does this differ from remote desktop when using it to connect to a remote pc?

[@cpuuk]

It allows MS back into your device, to watch what you are doing.

[@Sashazur]

There’s no remote PC. It’s a cloud based solution for businesses.

[@vibhubora]

No difference for the end-user, but Microsoft manages the VM, so the admin does not have to set up and maintain the VM, network etc

[@temelgunaydin7585]

Does it run visual studio?

[@MSFTMechanics]

Yes, the Windows environments you access with it will run Visual Studio. You can also use it for accessing Dev Box VMs, which are more project-based and tend to have IDEs in their images.

[@plamentd]

sweet sweet subscription

[@vin.k.k]

Now make one for Android devices and we won't need PCs.

[@MSFTMechanics]

Android version is coming soon 🙂

[@TukuStore]

Thanks

[@inthegroovy]
