Windows 365 takes the PC OS to the cloud in August

Cloud PC on phones, tables and even Macs.

Windows 365 is a new cloud-based OS that will stream Windows to phones, tablets and even Macs.

Available to businesses from 2 August, the service basically works in the same way that Xbox Cloud Game Gaming does — if you have a strong, stable internet connection, you’ll be able to stream the OS.

“The ability to work whenever, however, and wherever it’s needed has become the new normal,” Microsoft’s Wangui McKelvey wrote in a blog post. “All employees want technology that is familiar, easy to use, and available across devices. And in the most complex cybersecurity environment we’ve ever seen, businesses need a solution that helps their employees collaborate, share, and create while also keeping their data safe and secure.”

Windows 365 will initially stream Windows 10, but will transition over to Windows 11 when available.

Pricing hasn’t been made available as yet, but businesses will need to have Azure Active Directory, Microsoft accounts and appropriate Windows 365 Business or Enterprise licensing to access the service.

Interested parties can head to Windows365.com from 2 August to sign-up or to receive more information.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
