Windows 11 in the cloud: Windows 365 brings Cloud PCs to Mac, iPad, Android, and Windows

Microsoft's Windows 365 Cloud PC streams Windows 11 from its data centers to a browser or the Windows app on any device (PC, Mac, iPad, Android, iOS). In a test, a 2 vCPU/8 GB RAM/126 GB config performed like a local PC but RAM pressure and latency to the data center matter; setup is easiest for those with a Microsoft 365 admin account, and a one-month trial is offered with promo pricing. Real-world use works well for hybrid/remote work and device flexibility, but the cost is premium and online-only; offline work isn’t supported, and the most affordable plans still add up for businesses.

"Stream Windows on Chromebooks, Macs, iPhones, and iPads with Microsoft's New App"

Microsoft is launching the "Windows app," a service that allows users to stream the company's full desktop OS to other devices, including Chromebooks. However, regular users cannot access it yet. The app supports various platforms and form factors, including desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and web browsers. While ChromeOS is supported, consumer accounts are currently barred from accessing the Windows app, requiring a business or school account.

"Windows 11 hints at major changes for future Windows versions"

New features found in an early build of Windows 11 suggest that Microsoft is working on a Cloud PC feature that could be integrated into Windows 12. The Cloud PC feature will allow users to access a virtual PC stored on the internet that will work like a regular PC. The feature is currently hidden and requires editing a DLL file to enable it. Microsoft has been clear about its interest in taking Windows to the cloud, and these new cloud-based features may be our best look yet at what Microsoft plans for the next version of its operating system.
