Microsoft could launch a ‘Cloud PC’ service this summer


Microsoft makes it easy to access a Windows 10 virtual PC on any device, including smartphones and tablets. According to a report from ZDNET, Microsoft will launch a cloud PC service in June or July that will allow users to access a Windows remote desktop and software like Office.

The report suggests that the Redmond, Washington-based software powerhouse may offer a new way to experience its flagship Windows 10 on any device through Azure-based service. However, you have to pay a monthly fee to access a remote Windows 10 desktop along with software like MS Office.

Microsoft currently offers Windows Virtual Desktop, but the new service will be part of Microsoft's 365 experience. The new service could be beneficial for those who frequently switch devices and want to access their PC on any mobile device, the report said.

The company has not yet confirmed the existence of its rumored “cloud PC”. However, the new initiative may be a better option than Chromebooks in the workplace. Not just one would get a secure and constantly updated system without having to rely on a low-performing machine.

While unconfirmed, Microsoft's new Cloud PC service can enable Windows 10X users to run Win32 apps. Windows 10X is Microsoft's answer to Chrome OS that hasn't started yet. Last year the company announced that it had tweaked Windows 10X a little to fit the single screen.

During the annual Build 2021 developer conference, we were able to learn more about Microsoft's “Cloud PC” service. The initiative is reportedly codenamed "Project Deschutes". This year, Build 2021 will take place between May 25th and 27th.

Image
Holding back the tears, Teresa Short described her struggles trying to help her son, a preschooler in need of special education, catch up after the school disruptions caused by COVID. Her school district, Fayette County Schools in Somerville, could only offer summer academic programs to children in K-12, she said. The reason, she was told, was the limited funding. "So I had to find private schools to try to get him to and pay out of my pocket to try and get him an education and get him where he needs to be," said Short. Given the opportunity to weigh how Tennessee should approach its first revision of the school funding formula in 30 years, Short advocated giving more money to schools overall and ensuring more money is allocated to special education students. She joined a crowded room with parents, students, educators, boards of directors, school board members and activists Thursday at the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis to visit the second of eight town ha
