Is there a good article that spells out the differences between W365 and AVD in GCC High/Azure Gov? It looked like W365 didn't support GPUs, which ruled it out for my current needs.

Windows 365 Government does not have a GPU offering today, in either Commercial or Government. We don't have a published article spelling out any differences between W365 and AVD, either. However, it sounds like you were able to find AVD to be the fit for your needs, and I'm glad you were able to get there. Would you say some sort of article spelling out the differences would have made your eventual landing on AVD simpler/quicker?- FaulkConsultingJan 17, 2023Copper ContributorRobert, a detailed comparison of AVD & W365 for each of Commercial, GCC, & GCCH would be exceptionally helpful. We assigned a resource to do a small bakeoff between AVD & W365 in Commercial, but we couldn't afford to dedicate the resource to get to the bottom of all of the nuances -- especially when we don't have a clear roadmap for features into each Microsoft cloud environment.
- Brad ShannonJan 17, 2023Copper ContributorI think so, yes. I'm not familiar with W365 at all, but I am familiar with AVD. An article that spells out differences and use-cases would be helpful. Thanks!

I'll definitely take that feedback and look for a good way to make W365 more easier to consume for folks familiar with AVD and vice versa.

Great starting point at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365/overview then dive into Windows 365 Enterprise features from there. And here are the few GCC/GCCH differences: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365/enterprise/introduction-windows-365-government.
We see many customers leveraging both AVD and W365 for this reason!
