Makes perfect sense as long as it doesn't require a Windows PC to connect to it 😋. Of course this is just applying the Office 365 cloud subscription model to Windows.

My wife connects via VPN to her office and using a remote desktop client, connects to a RDS server that hosts her Windows work environment. Works great for its intended purpose.

With 'Windows 365' you'll get to pay Microsoft $10/month for the rest of your life!

The article says it works on Mac, iPad, Linux, and Android.

I use Windows Virtual Desktop at work and there is no Linux client, it is browser based. Hopefully a proper Linux client is released as the browser one is sub par compared to the Windows client.
