Overview

Microsoft recently launched Windows 365, a cloud service that introduces a new way to experience Windows, leveraging the power of cloud and AI. Windows 365 takes the operating system to the Microsoft cloud, streaming the full Windows experience -- apps, data and settings -- to personal or corporate devices. Secure by design and built with the principles of Zero Trust, Windows 365 secures and stores information in the cloud, not on the device, providing a secure, productive experience for workers from interns and contractors to software developers and industrial designers. Windows 365 also creates a new hybrid personal computing category called Cloud PC, which uses both the power of the cloud and the capabilities of the device to provide a full, personalized Windows experience.
