Today, Microsoft announced a new way to work with the launch of Windows 365, the company’s new cloud-based option for hybrid workforces at businesses of all sizes running Windows 10 or Windows 11 (when available later this year).
Microsoft puts PCs in the cloud with Windows 365
The new cloud offering brings the operating system to the cloud by streaming apps, settings and even data to the user’s personal or work computer, while allowing users to easily pick up the task they were last working on from anywhere. The monthly service will be available to businesses on August 2.
As employees are increasingly called back to the office after a year of working from home, many are finding themselves with hybrid work schedules: some days in the office, some days working from home.
This partially remote working model has led to numerous challenges for both employees and businesses, including increased security risks and the difficulty for employees to continue their work at their previous location.
