Thank you Elden. We can't all move to Azure Virtual desktop and Windows 10 multi-session; Office 365 (or even if it has to be, the LTSC version) works very well on remote desktop servers for us and many others today, and we don't see why we can't or shouldn't continue using it for the foreseeable future. Surely, the pace of change in mature products such as Office and Windows can't be so fast that we need to be on such quickly changing base products. And corporations don't WANT a quickly-changing base product either, they want stability. So maybe there is a fundamental conflict here but I do hope you will listen to what your customers really want out of the products, they are really good when they work. 🙂

Hi Elden_Christensen , very good news! We all ask ourselves in Germany the question whether a possible support release goes beyond the year 2025? That would make us all very happy.

Not supported in production yet, just being transparent that your voice is heard and we are working on it... and opening the door to please go try it out and give feedback to help us get this over the finish line. Thanks! - martijnk79Sep 06, 2022Brass ContributorThat's very good news. Does this mean we can already deploy this? Or is there no official support yet? When is this to be expected?
