Microsoft announces Windows 365, a subscription service for Windows 11 in the cloud
Microsoft has announced Windows 365, a subscription offering that lets businesses run Windows 10 or Windows 11 from any device.

Smart move. Maybe Apple needs to take a look. Interesting, more software going back to the old terminal mainframe concept. Good old stuff never really dies. Just reincarnates.
This is kinda groundbreaking. So Apple Silicon users don't even need to wait for Windows on ARM support? And people on older hardware who cannot upgrade to Windows 11 can just opt for a subscription? Quite interesting move.
It will be interesting to see how much MS will charge for the subscription. If the cost is moderate, that would be the way to go for Apple Silicon owners to run Windows. I can't imagine anyone who does not have a fast internet connection going that route though.
Yes, it certainly would be revolutionary for Apple. That said, you can already get access to Macs "in the cloud". The Mac will be hosted in a data center but you will be renting the whole Mac, not a VM.
One price point leaked thanks to The Verge:
"For the $31 monthly subscription, Microsoft offers two CPUs, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. This is part of the Windows 365 Business option, designed for businesses with fewer than 300 overall users."

So, I could run a full Windows 11, with Office, on my RPi4?
Now, all they need is some decent Education pricing. Like $10/Student/year. A lot of schools could afford that, with cheap internet terminals to run it.

if anyone is still interested in Windows 365, I picked up one of their Cloud PC's and did a test with it for my channel.

No, it’s not for the home user. The ever curious me attempted to buy one to play with and it asked me for my “school or work” email address. Sensing a rabbit hole, I didn’t go further.Not exactly designed for the home user and not sure it will work with a Mac:
