Microsoft announces Windows 365: the cloud-based operating system for use on any device with a browser

We are talking about cloud-based Windows again, Microsoft's project to bring its operating system to different devices and thus forget about the hardware that until now could limit us. We were aiming for a launch between today and tomorrow and that is what has finally happened. We already have Windows 365 with us

The company has confirmed its commitment to the cloud to have a kind of Windows streaming but instead of Cloud PC they have opted for a name in line with other productsof the brand and if we have Office 365 now it is the turn of Windows 365.

Windows Everywhere

Windows 365 is something that many may remember Microsoft xCloud or Google Stadia but now leaving leisure aside. A system that allows Windows to run on a wide variety of devices that can run a browser It means that we have Windows on an Android mobile, but also on an iPhone or an Apple Mac to cite just two examples.

Windows 365 is the door that gives us access to all the applications we use in Windows, but also to our favorite settings A Windows 365 that right now hides the base of Windows 10 inside but that it hopes to make the leap to Windows 11 when it is released.

Don't say Cloud PC, say Windows 365

Windows 365 is a child, as hinted at in the pandemic statement. It's about making it easier to work remotely from anywhere and from any device.

With Windows 365 you can improve the security of computers. Windows can be accessed via a browser from a personal or work device, which means putting an end to compatibility problems and incidentally avoiding possible security breaches generated by the use of personal devices.

"

Windows 365 for now arrives with an approach designed for the enterprise market, something we also discussed this morning. In fact, they advertise it as a new way to experience Windows 10 or Windows 11 for businesses of all sizes>"

Windows 365 is based on Azure Virtual Desktop and incorporates analysis of network connection status and the Watchdog service that performs diagnostics to achieve proper operation and incidentally to avoid failures and performance problems.

Price and availability

Windows 365 will be generally available for businesses of all sizes starting August 2, 2021 and have already enabled a page, this link, for more information about it.

Businesses can choose the size of Windows in the cloud that best suits their needs with a price per user and per month that has not yet been announced, so we will have to keep an eye on it. In this sense, two options are offered that include Windows 365 Business and Windows 365 Enterprise

About a version for the general user Microsoft has not provided any type of data for now, but as we saw this morning, it is hopefully over time
