From PC Mag: Microsoft has created a $349 device designed to run Windows in the cloud rather than on the hardware itself.
Windows 365 Link, announced at the company's Ignite event, is part of Microsoft’s latest effort to expand in the cloud PC market. In 2021, the company revealed Windows 365, giving business users a way to stream the Windows experience over the internet on a variety of devices, including Android phones and macOS and Linux computers.
Three years later, it's following up with a dedicated mini PC that runs Windows 365. It starts shipping in April for select markets.
The device is meant to appeal to businesses looking for alternatives to sending corporate-issued laptops to employees. "Compact, fanless, and lightweight, Windows 365 Link can be conveniently shipped directly to users," the company says. "It boots in seconds, wakes instantly from sleep, and offers local processing for video conferencing solutions such as Microsoft Teams meetings and Webex by Cisco, maximizing employee productivity."
