Hello Microsoft Partners!

I was really excited to see Windows Virtual Desktop officially announced at Ignite a couple weeks back.  Windows Virtual Desktop (formally known at RDmi (Remote Desktop Modern Infrastructure)), is a new service that enables you to host a complete modern desktop experience on Azure with built-in security and compliance, and access it from any device.

Windows Virtual Desktop is the best virtualized Windows and Office experience delivered on Azure.  It is the only cloud-based service that delivers a multi-user Windows 10 experience, optimized for Office 365 ProPlus, and includes free Windows 7 Extended Security Updates. With Windows Virtual Desktop, you can deploy and scale Windows and Office on Azure in minutes, with built-in security and compliance.

I wanted to provide you with some resources to quickly get you up to speed on this new solution.

  1. Read the blog post at Microsoft 365 adds modern desktop on Azure
  2. Watch the Ignite session BRK2300 - Windows Virtual Desktop overview
  3. Sign up to be notified when the Public Preview is available (coming soon!) at https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/virtual-desktop/#sign-up
