Choosing between Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop is less about features and more about who will run the platform and how the workload behaves. In this episode of M365 FM, we compare the operating models behind both cloud PC options: management effort, cost behavior, scaling, image handling and user experience.
You will learn which workloads fit a Cloud PC and which fit a pooled host pool, and which questions to answer before you commit.
Who it is for: Microsoft 365 and Intune admins, end-user computing architects and IT managers planning a virtual desktop strategy.
