Introducing Windows 365

Not to be confused with Microsoft 365.

Windows 365 is a cloud service that was announced by Microsoft on July 14, 2021. It was made available to businesses on August 2, 2021,[1] through a monthly pricing model.

Functionality

Windows 365 allows any supported online device to stream a Windows 10 or 11 experience (including compatible apps, data, and settings) from Microsoft's cloud servers, in a similar fashion to Xbox Cloud Gaming. Such client devices would be referred to as "Cloud PCs".[1]

The subscription service will be accessible through any operating system with a web browser; as such, Microsoft will be able to bypass the need to publish the service through Google Play or Apple App Store.[2][3][4]

It is a separate service and offers several variations, including Windows 365 Frontline, Windows 365 Boot, and the Windows 365 app.[5]
