Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) is a Microsoft Azure-based system for virtualizing its Windows operating systems, providing virtualized desktops and applications in the cloud (over the Internet).[1][2] It is aimed at enterprise customers rather than at individual users.[3]
WVD was first announced by Microsoft in September 2018,[4] available as a public preview in March 2019,[5] and generally available at the end of September 2019.[6]
The Windows Virtual Desktop client is available for Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, and HTML5.[7]
