Microsoft Cloud PC is Coming in Spring 2021 - tech
(hx) 08:26 PM CEST - Jul,20 2020 - Post a comment / read (7)
Mary Jo’s at it again: In addition to today’s news about Windows 10X, Ms. Foley today reported that Microsoft is working on a virtualized Windows desktop experience for thin clients called Microsoft Cloud PC. It’s expected in Spring 2021. As she writes, Cloud PC won’t replace Windows and Office on rich PCs for the foreseeable future. Instead, this new service will be option for businesses that wish to deploy low-end PCs that will behave in many ways like thin clients, with software delivered from the Azure cloud. I found a job description posted June 5 for a program manager for Microsoft's Cloud PC team on the company's careers site. The description of Cloud PC isn't super-detailed -- or surprising to anyone following Microsoft's virtualization strategy.

"Microsoft Cloud PC is a strategic, new offering that is built on top of Windows Virtual Desktop to delivering Desktop as a Service. At its core, Cloud PC provides business customers a modern, elastic, cloud-based Windows experience and will allow organizations to stay current in a more simplistic and scalable manner," the job description says.

Microsoft is planning to make Cloud PC a Microsoft-365-powered experience that is managed by Microsoft and sold for a flat per user price, the job description says. This pricing piece is key. Windows Virtual Desktop pricing revolves around Azure consumption. Cloud PC sounds like it will be available for a set subscription fee.

Microsoft had dropped a few hints recently that it was looking to create some kind of virtualized PC management experience. In February, Scott Manchester, who had been Group Program Manager for Windows Virtual Desktop, took on a new role as Group Program Manager for "Cloud Managed Desktops." I'm guessing that this team, along with Windows engineering, are the ones honing the Cloud PC vision and deliverables.

The biggest question here is when will Microsoft introduce its Cloud PC service/offering. I'm hearing this could happen as early as next spring, but Microsoft officials would not talk about Cloud PC at all and provided the "Microsoft will not comment on rumors and speculation" boiler-plate answer to my query.
Imagine a nightmare of streaming OS and Apps, no matter how fast connection you have it is a horrible experience. There is no in hell I would ever sign up for such garbage idea, and most Windows users are not going to do the same. Microsoft is going to lose Windows users very quickly. They are really working hard on pushing everyone to Linux along with Gaming industry and that's the end of Windows and Microsoft as we know it.

It's meant for businesses not personal so what are you whining about? and cloud PC already exists. Companies are always looking for cheap ways out.

Csimbi	(12:03 AM CEST - Jul,22 2020 )
Right. But it's the end users that get the short end of the stick and I hate that.

Lol like companies give a shit. You don't like it find another job. These days companies will skimp and save to make their bosses happy and investors. I'm sorry to say but you get less to get your job done. Companies will do this kinda shit and they don't care about your feelings. Times have changed and continue to change. Their are many benefits for a company to go this way. Money, infrastructure, support to name a few.

Just like your test machines turned into VM's so shall your work PC.

Csimbi	(10:25 AM CEST - Jul,22 2020 )
IMHO, test PCs are ok as VMs. I am inclined to say, they are better off as VMs - if you break something you can just go back to a snapshot real quick. I know what you are saying but people who need to be productive can't use the thin junk. Thin junk is for people who can wait and do not perform critical work.

Yup, but that's just one example. A thin client is something I would recommend for grandma and grandpa. They are not in a rush and they don't need to do any productive work.
