Microsoft has halted the Windows 365 trial because of "extremely high demand."

Microsoft has halted the Windows 365 trial because of

Microsoft officially launched Windows 365, a cloud-based PC service that provides businesses with a virtual Windows 10 desktop. The service was officially launched earlier this week.

Users can choose from a variety of hardware configurations, with prices varying according to the number of cores, memory, and storage available. For example, the cheapest configuration with one CPU core, two gigabytes of RAM, and 64 gigabytes of storage costs 22 euros per month, while the most powerful configuration (8 cores, 32 gigabytes of RAM, and 512 gigabytes of storage) costs 144 euros per month.

In addition to the official launch, users will be able to test the service for a period of two months at no cost. It appears that Microsoft underestimated the demand for this trial, as the company's maximum server capacity has already been reached after only a single day of operations. It is not currently possible to activate the trial version of the software.

In a tweet, Scott Manchester, the company's Director of Program Management and Windows 365, stated that the company has experienced "extremely high demand." The trial version is currently unavailable due to a capacity expansion project that is in progress. It is not yet known when this additional computing power will be made available to the public. In any case, it's highly likely that the company will prioritize its paid offering over the free trial in order to maximize profits.

Stupid question. One still needs a base computer to acces the Windows 365 service, isn't it?
A tablet or cheap computer of sorts.
Am I wrong?
Assuming this, one can have Windows 365 "streamed" into a Linux desktop, say?

Yeap. It's made so you can have the same "computer" no matter where you work from, switch devices etc. You only really need a modern browser.

Yeah, and browser is one of the most demanding "simple office" applications. Even Excel with hundreds of MB spreadsheet do not eat RAM so easily as browsers. You now need powerfull PC to connect to worse one, but "the same"...
