Welcome to the Windows 365 AMA! Thanks for joining us this morning. Post your questions now or anytime during this hour in the Comments box.
- _PoppelgaardCopper ContributorWhen is GPU support coming for Windows365?
- JoanelleFryx_n-9thCopper ContributorThis is currently being attempted.
- Justin4erCopper ContributorIs there a recommended way to transition from a W365 hybrid join to the new AADJ provisioning? I don’t mind completely reprovisioning devices but I attempted this earlier and it was painful. I created a new provisioning policy for AADJ but to actually get devices to provision I ended up removing licenses manually, removing users from the assigned group, waiting, then re-adding just to get a new device provisioned as AADJ.
- Justin4erCopper ContributorShould also note I manually ended the grace period that was initiated after I unassigned the group from the old hybrid policy and still had issues getting a new device to just provision without removing licenses and users from the groupz

Yes indeed. We will post a recap to the Windows 365 community within 48 hours after the event has concluded.
- GigaIOCopper ContributorCan Microsoft talk to the detailed plans for making the desktop Applications of Office, and OneDrive (and Sharepoint for those can care/can-arord-it). The current level of support for doing common B2B collaborative efforts using Microsoft Office 365 applications is frankly TERRIBLE, off-scale BAD, as in "NOT WORKING", does not work, never works, totally broken product. These are things like having the desktop Word actually perform properly when editing shared documents on OneDrive, instead of crashing ALL THE TIME, or when not crashing, just performing so poorly as to be unusable (5 second, 10 second, 30 second, 5 minutes, 30 MINUTES, 1 hour delays in processing in the tool, when it doesn't hang, or freeze) is COMMON place on documents of even moderate complexity. When will these age-old tools (desktop WORD, OneDrive, Sharepoint) be FIXED, to work properly? If if the answer is NEVER..... When will the ONLINE tool version have their functionality catch up to match what is available in the desktop WORD versions. Things like: Commenting. Versions Change Tracking Version Comparison Custom Type creation Navigation Pain (not in the online product, at all) e.g, if you are not going to make the desktop applications work properly for sharing, then WHEN are you going to make the ONLINE apps capable of doing the things that the desktop applications have been able to do for 20 years. (NOT Kidding, 20 years.) The online tools (10 years into the effort) do not have massive pieces of the Word functionality. (Other apps similarly miss all the "complex and complicated" functionality.) Sure, the basic, 1-sheet 2-sheet stuff all works, and I say.... WHO CARES. We need this stuff to work for BUSINESS. In technology BUSINESS, that means SPECIFICATIONS (LARGE, COMPLEX WORD DOCUMENTS) shared and collaborated on. NONE of Microsoft's offerings appear to work for that process, and I want to know when they will, hopefully before the END OF TIMES.

Hi David (GigaIO) - As this AMA is focused on Windows 365, we won't have anyone on hand to answer these types of questions. The best place to post questions pertaining to Office apps is the Microsoft 365 apps for enterprise space, thank you!
- XnXCopper ContributorHello. I do not know all of the required terms needed to answer this question specifically, however, I identify as a person who is viewed at by society as \"WHO CARES\" and would like to know if you would like me to see if I can figure this out - if you are able to communicate to me based upon the understanding that I am very timid and sensitive to comments that seem harsh or rude and as a volunteer to come up with this solution, I would need that you allow me to work within timeframes upon my own choosing. I am Disabled, and suffering personally while attempting to revise my states Curricula and reaching out to people who are in a common area of interest to find out if they would like my help or if I can be of use.
