Many may have forgotten that towards the end of 2024, Microsoft unveiled Windows 365 Link, a mini PC designed specifically for running Windows on the cloud. After about half a year, today Windows 365 Link officially goes on sale in the United States and several other countries at a price of $349.
For consumers, especially those in the consumer sector, it may be difficult to understand why we need to purchase relatively inexpensive hardware to use a desktop through the cloud. The market for Windows 365 Link is similar to Thin Client computer groups in the past, which had specific-purpose computers (such as sales points or service points) connecting to desktop systems managed directly from the central office.
The highlight of Windows 365 Link is its design specifically for Windows 365 service (without the need for other brand clouds), allowing it to boot up to the desktop in a matter of seconds. This provides better work efficiency and easier management. Microsoft claims that currently over 100 organizations have successfully tested it and achieved the desired results.
