The Windows 365 Link is a small black box that connects over the internet to a Windows 365 Cloud PC running in the Azure cloud. Microsoft has priced it at $349 (£349), and its real utility is to those fully invested in Microsoft’s cloudy vision.

    I worked in (Canadian) government for a while and we used our desktops as think clients in a way. That wasn’t the intended use of our desktops though, the office internet was just so insanely locked down that nearly every site was blocked. Like trying to watch a YouTube tutorial? Blocked. Trying to read a forum thread to debug something? Blocked. It was stupid.

    We all just ended up RPCing into Azure VMs because we’d actually be able to do our work that way.

    Not super related but something I think about sometimes lol
