Earlier this year, ZDNet editor Mary Jo Foley reported that Scott Manchester was working on the new Cloud PC service.

The upcoming service will give users access to a full version of Windows running in the cloud. This will allow employees to connect to their remote desktop from anywhere via the Internet.

Cloud PC is somewhat similar to Xbox Cloud Gaming (Project xCloud). But it is a productivity service and not gaming.

According to pricing information, the prices of the Cloud PC service will differ from those of the Windows virtual desktop. In particular, organizations and companies will be able to pay a lump sum for each user who will use the upcoming service.

ZDNet also reports that the Cloud PC is already being tested by several Microsoft partners.
