However, courtesy of WalkingCat, some additional details concerning the project have recently leaked in the online space, expanding our current knowledge of the project.

What is Microsoft Cloud PC?

There are still a lot of unknowns regarding Microsoft Cloud PC, but from what we understand, it’s an Azure-based virtualization service that aims to provide users with Microsoft 365 apps access. In July, a job listing dated June 5 for a Microsoft Cloud PC program manager has been spotted. The job description was vaguely formulated and didn’t offer a lot to chew on, at least at first sight, as you can see below: It’s safe to say that Microsoft’s upcoming virtualization service will be a convenient way for end-users to access work resources remotely and from any appropriate device.

Microsoft Cloud PC additional details leaked

Although it’s been a few months since we’ve heard anything about Cloud PC, we’ve recently come across some additional details that helped us better understand Microsoft’s strategy. Apparently, the upcoming service has a codename: Project Deschutes, and can already be accessed at cloudpc.microsoft.com or deschutes.microsoft.com. However, you’ll need a work or school account in order to use it, as personal Microsoft accounts won’t do the trick. Furthermore, users who successfully set up their Cloud PC can subsequently access it via Microsoft Remote Desktop. This aspect is highly convenient, considering that the Remote Desktop app is available on various platforms, including Windows (32-bit, 64-bit, and ARM64), Mac, Android, and iOS. Last, but not least, Microsoft Cloud PC will be available to users in three different configurations. Namely:

Medium configuration (general purpose, cost/flexibility-optimized) 2 vCPU 4 GB RAM 96 GB SSD Heavy configuration (advanced, performance/speed-optimized) 2 vCPU 8 GB RAM 96 GB SSD Advanced configuration (accelerated graphics, data processing/scalability-optimized) 3 vCPU 8 GB RAM 40 GB SSD
