Windows Virtual Desktop Allows Public Review Now

In 2018, Microsoft announced to launch Windows Virtual Desktop service but it was a private preview only. From today, however, enterprise users can try using this service, which is hosted in the Azure cloud if they want to see what it looks like.

Windows Virtual Desktop Preview is a cloud service for comprehensive app and desktop virtualization. This is the single VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) to deliver multi-session Windows 10, simplified management, optimization for Office 365 Plus, as well as support for RDS (Remote Desktop Services) environment.

Notably, this products seems to have been made for enterprise users. It’s not likely that regular users will play Apex Legends through these services on a virtual machine. The idea here is to create a service that allows access to Office 365 ProPlus, which makes monitoring machines as well as the software running on them easier for businesses. Plus, with Windows Virtual Desktop, employers in regulated industries can give their mobile workers a virtual desktop to make sure all of their important data are safe.

One remarkable thing about Windows Virtual Desktop is that one single virtual machine can support multiple Windows 10 sessions.

Also, it’s worth noting that this service has a lot of features powered by FSLogix’s technology that Microsoft acquired in 2018. That means even non-persistent users are able to quickly access to a library of applications including OneDrive and Outlook.
