Microsoft MVPs Niall Brady and Paul Winstanley have released the 5th part in their getting started with Windows 365 series.
“The management capabilities of your Cloud PCs are dependent on which edition of Windows 365 you purchase. If you want rich device management, go with Windows 365 Enterprise. If your business is small (less than 300 employees) use the Windows 365 Business option and it’s associated (limited) management. Cloud PC’s from Microsoft have come about from traditional Desktop as a Service (DaaS) offerings (providing a Windows experience for end users with little or no overhead for IT admins) and an evolution from PaaS offerings (such as Azure Virtual Desktop).”
