You can create and utilize a virtual machine on your Mac to test and develop across various operating systems, including access to Microsoft Office for Windows and Internet Explorer. Enjoy the benefits of running Windows applications efficiently without impacting the performance of your Mac. The software facilitates easy transfer of files, applications, and other data from your previous computer to your new Mac.

What is Azure Virtual Desktop?

Azure Virtual Desktop, formerly known as Windows Virtual Desktop, serves as a comprehensive cloud platform designed for desktop and application virtualization. This service is unique as it is the only virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution that provides easy management, multi-session functionality for Windows 10, special enhancements for Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise, and integration with Remote Desktop Services (RDS). You can efficiently launch and scale your Windows desktops and applications on Azure within minutes, all while enjoying built-in security and compliance features. By allowing the use of personal devices (BYOD), users can seamlessly access their desktops and applications online through a variety of Azure Virtual Desktop clients, which are available on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and via HTML5. Moreover, choosing the right Azure virtual machine (VM) can greatly enhance performance, enabling you to fully leverage the multi-session capabilities of Windows 10 and Windows 11 on Azure, which facilitates simultaneous access for multiple users and helps reduce costs. With its adaptability and effectiveness, Azure Virtual Desktop is revolutionizing the way organizations oversee their remote work scenarios, ensuring a more productive and efficient workforce. The service is thus pivotal in aligning technology with modern business needs, fostering a more agile working environment.
