Windows 365 is a product for businesses and not general consumers. However, businesses of all sizes are eligible. Whether you have a one-person business or a large corporation with thousands of employees, you can sign up, pay the subscription, and use it. Microsoft says that businesses will be able to create cloud PCs and assign them to employees in just a few minutes. Businesses can use it to quickly give a standardized desktop to their employees that they can access on any hardware. Businesses can give their employees a consistent, managed desktop environment without providing them hardware—so employees can access the remote desktop environment on personal devices, even if those personal devices aren’t Windows PCs.
This isn’t intended as a consumer product for anyone to sign up and quickly get a cloud desktop from Microsoft, and even businesses with a single employee will have to create, assign, and manage that cloud PC through Endpoint Manager.
With Windows 365, we’re bringing the operating system to the cloud and creating a new category: the cloud PC, providing organizations with greater flexibility and a secure way to empower their workforce, regardless of location. https://t.co/3UerZdDKky
