We use AVD for some customers. W365 is deemed to expensive by our customers. Most customers comment they can buy a mega laptop/pc for the yearly fee of Windows 365.

Thanks Rob - so yes but you are then stuck with that piece of hardware, if you lose it, you've lost it. If it breaks you need to fix it or buy a new one. It will also age and you will need a new one. With W365 Microsoft provides Windows as a service from the cloud. We manage the underlying infrastructure and will over time update that hardware so that you can take advantage of that as a quicker CloudPC. Also it is a resilient service, if there was ever an issue with the specfic VM Azure will recover it so that it is available for you, and you cant lose it. And becuase you cant lose it there is no risk or someone getting access to the data kept on it.
