Microsoft released today September 30 the Windows Virtual Desktop and starts operating the new service globally. The company is also offering some additional new features for its Azure-based virtualization service.
Microsoft officially announced Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) in September of 2018 and released it for the first time in March on 2019.
According to Microsoft, thousands of its customers have tried WVD in the preview of the service. The service is ready for the first time today and the WVD client application is available today for Windows, Android, Mac, iOS and HTML 5 platforms.
Windows Virtual Desktop is a new service that provides Windows 10 virtualization, along with multiple 10 connection capabilities as well as desktop support and Windows Server RDS applications.
In short, the new WVD service will allow users to virtualize their applications Windows 7, 8, 10, Office 365 ProPlus and other third-party applications, running them remotely on Azure virtual machines.
Microsoft will also enable WVD users to virtualize on Windows 7 - with free Extended Update Update support until January at 2023.
This means that the company's customers who have licensed (purchased) Windows Virtual Desktop will continue to receive it updates ασφαλείας για τα Windows 7 ακόμα και μετά την επίσημη παύση της υποστήριξης από την Microsoft μετά τις 14 Ιανουαρίου του 2020, χωρίς κάποιο επιadditional cost.
“VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) is one of the top ten services,” said Brad Anderson, Corporate Vice President of Microsoft 365.
"Companies want to move to loud and WVD is really the only way to run Windows 10 clients, with many users in the public cloud."
