Windows 365 shipped in 2021 as AVD's simpler sibling: a fixed-price Cloud PC per user, no host pools, no scaling design. For boards, contractors and BYOD-heavy teams, that simplicity wins.
Per-seat economics favour AVD as numbers grow, so we model both. The product itself has been reliable to the point of forgettable.
Verdict: the easy on-ramp to cloud desktops; know when to graduate.
