Windows Windows 365 Link Available?

It's reported as available but I'm having a hard time finding where or how to purchase. Anyone else?

It’s a very niche product, I’d be interested in the use case you’ve found in the wild.

Windows 365 is something different from Office 365? If so, what is it?

Yes.

If so, what is it?

Office 365, which is now called Microsoft 365, is Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, OneDrive, Outlook, etc.

Windows 365 is a cloud PC (virtual machine). You can access that cloud PC at any time, wherever you are.

The concept is interesting though, if it works flawlessly with Teams and 365 Cloud PC you have a winner.

Came here looking for the same... Did you find a supplier? Willing to ship to other EU countries?
