Microsoft is believed to be working on a new virtualized desktop experience called 'Cloud PC' to help administrators deploy and manage Windows 10 PCs in the cloud via web browser, mobile app or another PC. Cloud PC will also allow Microsoft to handle your organization's device configuration by applying updates security improvements regularly, and offer managed support.
Cloud PC is based on Azure and Windows Virtual Desktop and it won't replace any version of Windows.
According to leaked screenshots, Cloud PC's tagline is "Access your work apps and programs online from any device," which implies that Cloud PC will deliver a Desktop as a Service for businesses.
What is Cloud PC? Microsoft Cloud PC is a new "Strategic offering" built on top of Windows Virtual desktop, which is an Azure-based system used for virtualizing Windows and applications in the cloud.
According to reports, Cloud PC uses Microsoft's existing Windows Virtual Desktop and Azure infrastructure to deliver Desktop as a Service and enable a modern, elastic, cloud-based Windows experience.
