Will be interesting to see pricing - I wonder if there will be any kind of discount for orgs that already have most of their people on Windows, or indeed for employees using their own Windows devices. I could see this being a big security bonus for a lot of companies, especially with the shift to WFH - I'd think a lot of companies had to rather hastily deploy VPNs etc, and that's not the kind of infrastructure you want to rush... Also, I can imagine some unscrupulous companies seeing this as a money-saving exercise, forcing employees to use their own devices instead of providing one for them.

Leaks indicates it will be starting at $59.99/month This way too expansive, I'm not sure that'll find a place in IT places, most professionals already know how to work with a VPS.. Unless some tech illiterates management makes decisions, I fail to see how this can be successful

  Considering there is probably going to be discounts for large integrators, and that price adds up to $720/year - if this actually does replace upgrade costs - it might be worth to some companies.

  $720.00 per year including the hardware and availability everywhere there is an internet connection. It's $2,160.00 in 3 years, a professional level laptop. The local device could be very cheap and light. I wonder what are the hardware and bandwidth requirements.

    If you need 4k60 or more, then your local device can't be a potato either.
