Microsoft announces Windows 365 based on a browser compatible with Apple Silicon


Windows 365

Many are the applications that have already been adapted to Apple Silicon and the new M1 chip. At first it was through the Rosetta language but little by little the native applications have taken control of the situation. However, one of the most anticipated applications by many is still missing. Options Windows virtualization. But in the meantime Microsoft has introduced a new service that has virtual PCs running on any browser platform. Windows 365 will be a service that potentially will allow users of any platform, with any browser, run a full version of Windows in the cloud.

Although applications like Parallels Desktop allow Windows to run alongside macOS, Microsoft has introduced a new service that could make the problem a thing of the past. At least for now. Windows 365 will be a service that potentially will allow users of any platform, with any browser, to run a full version of Windows in the cloud. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella in a blog post stated: “With Windows 365, we are creating a new category: The PC in the cloud. He also stated that “Just as applications were taken to the cloud with SaaS [software como servicio], we are now bringing the operating system to the cloud. Giving organizations greater flexibility and a safe way to empower their workforce to be more productive and connected. Regardless of location.

No pricing has been announced at the moment, but when Windows 365 launches on August 2, 2021, it will be a subscription service. What is certain is that it will be oriented more towards companies, than individuals. Microsoft says the purpose is to provide tools to people who are now changing their employment situation due to the coronavirus.

With workforces more disparate than ever, organizations need a new way to deliver a great productivity experience with greater versatility, simplicity, and security. Cloud PC is an exciting new category of hybrid personal computing that turns any device into a personalized, productive and secure digital workspace. The announcement of Windows 365 is just the beginning of what will be possible as we blur the lines between device and cloud.

Windows 365 will be offered in Business and Enterprise versions, both through Azure Virtual Desktop. There will be 12 different configurations. The highest has 8 CPUs, 32GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage.
