Starting this week, Microsoft customers can use the Azure Virtual Desktop to virtualize a Windows 11 preview desktop on Azure virtual machines.
"Azure Virtual Desktop has become a popular cloud VDI platform to run desktops and apps in the cloud and deliver a full Windows experience to users virtually anywhere," said Kam VedBrat, GM for Windows Virtual Desktop at Microsoft.
"Windows Virtual Desktop GM Organizations today use it with Windows 10, Windows 7, Windows Server and now we are pleased to offer Windows 11 on Azure Virtual Desktop."
After registering for the Windows Insider Program, Enterprise and Education customers can immediately start testing Windows 11 with Azure Virtual Desktop.
Azure Virtual Desktop is a cloud-based desktop and app virtualization service which allows accessing Windows desktops over the Internet using a Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, or HTML5-based Azure Virtual Desktop client.
This year, in June, Microsoft rebranded the platform from Windows Virtual Desktop to Azure Virtual Desktop and added new security capabilities and pricing options for remote app streaming.
