The announcement explicitly says that this is Azure Virtual Desktop.
"Windows 365 is built on Azure Virtual Desktop, but it simplifies the virtualization experience—handling all the details for you. "
- user3939382 5y agoAh, I missed that. I guess we just have to wait and see some details. "Simplifies the experience" I don't know what that means.
- Spooky23 5y agoAzure Virtual desktop was like a low level API… Citrix and VMWare sell brokering/provisioning solutions that instrument the Azure desktop. Now that Citrix and VMWare brought this business to Azure, Microsoft is launching a competing offering. Nice guys they are lol.
- mattowen_uk 5y agoThere's a full video out there for 365 admins somewhere on the MS site (I'm sorry, the URL is on my other machine). "Simplifies the experience" means, that with just 3 provisioning checkboxes against a user object in 365, you can grant that user a Windows 365 machine including all the 365 apps and your standard policies. It takes about 20 minutes from enablement for the VM to be ready, and the VM remains persistent for the lifetime of it's provisioning. The cost model is a fixed fee per provisioned user, per month.
