00:03:30,759 out to, like, whoever needs it. And I 91 00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:32,439 need it to be fast and I need 92 00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:33,739 it to be really easy. 93 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,800 And so the team set to work and 94 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,264 we literally built this great hybrid work tool, 95 00:03:39,405 --> 00:03:39,905 hybridly, 96 00:03:40,365 --> 00:03:42,224 because the engineering team 97 00:03:42,764 --> 00:03:45,665 was pretty scattered. The dev teams in China, 98 00:03:46,205 --> 00:03:48,125 you know, the PM and product marketing teams 99 00:03:48,125 --> 00:03:50,385 were kind of all home, some in Redmond, 100 00:03:50,525 --> 00:03:51,745 some in Utah, 101 00:03:52,205 --> 00:03:54,500 and we built this, you you know, SaaS 102 00:03:54,500 --> 00:03:57,139 version of Windows really to respond to the 103 00:03:57,139 --> 00:03:57,639 moment. 104 00:03:58,340 --> 00:04:00,500 And customers really liked it because it gave 105 00:04:00,500 --> 00:04:02,259 them what they asked for, which is just 106 00:04:02,259 --> 00:04:03,400 really turnkey 107 00:04:04,259 --> 00:04:05,239 Windows experiences 108 00:04:05,935 --> 00:04:08,334 that looked and felt and acted just like 109 00:04:08,334 --> 00:04:08,834 Windows, 110 00:04:09,375 --> 00:04:11,775 but like yourself, could be used on any 111 00:04:11,775 --> 00:04:14,574 device, including, you know, a Mac or, you 112 00:04:14,574 --> 00:04:16,894 know, an older PC if but still use 113 00:04:16,894 --> 00:04:19,230 the latest OS. So that's kind of the 114 00:04:19,230 --> 00:04:21,470 history of it, and now we're 3 years 115 00:04:21,470 --> 00:04:23,710 on and have really seen it take off 116 00:04:23,710 --> 00:04:25,490 and especially in a number of areas. 117 00:04:26,029 --> 00:04:29,330 And today announcing our first purpose built endpoint 118 00:04:29,550 --> 00:04:31,310 for it. Yes. That was 119 00:04:31,949 --> 00:04:33,514 so I did wanna talk about that because 120 00:04:33,514 --> 00:04:36,495 that was exciting. I saw that Satya had 121 00:04:36,555 --> 00:04:38,394 went up on stage. Mhmm. And I was 122 00:04:38,394 --> 00:04:39,915 like, oh, I can't get one till April. 123 00:04:39,915 --> 00:04:42,634 Mhmm. But I am excited about them. So 124 00:04:42,634 --> 00:04:44,509 what how does this endpoint work? Because I 125 00:04:44,509 --> 00:04:46,269 know traditionally, like, a lot of people maybe 126 00:04:46,269 --> 00:04:48,670 use some other third party thin clients. Like 127 00:04:48,670 --> 00:04:50,509 you said, you could use Mac, you could 128 00:04:50,509 --> 00:04:53,250 use Windows, but this is like a dedicated 129 00:04:53,550 --> 00:04:54,769 Windows 365 130 00:04:55,949 --> 00:04:57,410 and the AVD 131 00:04:58,154 --> 00:05:00,235 device? I was curious about that too because 132 00:05:00,235 --> 00:05:02,654 I saw all the Windows 365. But Yeah. 133 00:05:02,795 --> 00:05:05,754 What is this new device? Yeah. Well, the 134 00:05:05,754 --> 00:05:07,675 name kind of says what it is. It 135 00:05:07,675 --> 00:05:10,074 links you to the Cloud PC. That's what 136 00:05:10,074 --> 00:05:10,654 it does. 137 00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:12,660 And so this is another thing that we 138 00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:15,079 built really in response to customer request. 139 00:05:15,860 --> 00:05:17,639 So we launched Windows 365 140 00:05:18,019 --> 00:05:19,779 boot a couple of years ago. So the 141 00:05:19,779 --> 00:05:22,819 ability to have an admin setting that says, 142 00:05:22,819 --> 00:05:24,420 when I log in, it's gonna take me 143 00:05:24,420 --> 00:05:26,024 directly to my Cloud PC. 144 00:05:26,425 --> 00:05:28,504 And customers wanted this because they had some 145 00:05:28,504 --> 00:05:30,425 scenarios where, like, they don't have people using 146 00:05:30,425 --> 00:05:32,185 local apps, they don't wanna have to manage 147 00:05:32,185 --> 00:05:33,944 the image locally, just take me to the 148 00:05:33,944 --> 00:05:34,444 Cloud. 149 00:05:34,904 --> 00:05:37,064 Really easy. And they said, hey, could you 150 00:05:37,064 --> 00:05:38,444 build an endpoint 151 00:05:38,985 --> 00:05:40,764 that just does this? 152 00:05:41,129 --> 00:05:43,689 Okay. Just make it as simple as that. 153 00:05:43,689 --> 00:05:46,569 Just that. We just want a link to 154 00:05:46,569 --> 00:05:48,330 the cloud, and we want it to be 155 00:05:48,330 --> 00:05:50,090 low cost. We want it to be super 156 00:05:50,090 --> 00:05:52,569 secure. Security was actually the big driver for 157 00:05:52,569 --> 00:05:53,069 this 158 00:05:53,834 --> 00:05:56,154 because we have certain use cases where we 159 00:05:56,154 --> 00:05:57,595 just need people to be able to log 160 00:05:57,595 --> 00:05:58,894 in to their cloud PC. 161 00:05:59,435 --> 00:06:01,595 And so, like, that was the challenge we 162 00:06:01,595 --> 00:06:04,394 took on. How simple and secure can we 163 00:06:04,394 --> 00:06:06,714 make this thing? Okay. And then we discovered 164 00:06:06,714 --> 00:06:08,975 a couple other affordances along the way. 165 00:06:09,339 --> 00:06:11,019 You know, we were able to design something 166 00:06:11,019 --> 00:06:12,079 that's very sustainable. 167 00:06:12,620 --> 00:06:13,759 It's very durable. 168 00:06:14,379 --> 00:06:17,180 It's very easy to set up. And so 169 00:06:17,180 --> 00:06:19,419 just we're able to tick some boxes that 170 00:06:19,419 --> 00:06:21,579 customers were really asking for for this kind 171 00:06:21,579 --> 00:06:22,240 of endpoint. 172 00:06:22,620 --> 00:06:24,764 Okay. And I'm I'm assuming too, and I 173 00:06:24,764 --> 00:06:26,845 know Satya talked about it, is one thing 174 00:06:26,845 --> 00:06:30,144 that I've had some customers struggle with is 175 00:06:30,605 --> 00:06:33,245 you get the endpoints out there and naturally, 176 00:06:33,245 --> 00:06:34,605 they have the 1 around Teams. They're doing 177 00:06:34,605 --> 00:06:37,404 Teams audio. They're doing

video calls. They're doing 178 00:06:37,404 --> 00:06:39,079 all of that. And I know there's been 179 00:06:39,079 --> 00:06:41,240 some work there around even the clients and 180 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,879 trying to optimize media, but is there other 181 00:06:43,879 --> 00:06:45,399 stuff too in the link that then you 182 00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:47,419 were able to do to even optimize 183 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,600 meeting experiences and some of those ops experiences 184 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,714 that I would say maybe with some of 185 00:06:52,714 --> 00:06:54,154 the hardware offloading and some of the way 186 00:06:54,154 --> 00:06:56,014 those work with thin clients, it can be 187 00:06:56,235 --> 00:06:56,735 unpredictable 188 00:06:57,115 --> 00:06:58,095 at best. 189 00:06:58,714 --> 00:07:00,154 Yeah. We kind of think of it as 190 00:07:00,154 --> 00:07:01,454 a as a 2 parter. 191 00:07:01,834 --> 00:07:04,394 So the 2 things obviously that, you know, 192 00:07:04,394 --> 00:07:07,730 slow down great video communication is either the 193 00:07:07,730 --> 00:07:10,930 connection Yep. Or the actual speed at which 194 00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:13,250 the the computing happens once you're there. Right? 195 00:07:13,250 --> 00:07:14,689 Yeah. So it's either I can't log on 196 00:07:14,689 --> 00:07:16,449 or now I'm here and it's choppy or 197 00:07:16,449 --> 00:07:18,310 the video is slow or whatever it is. 198 00:07:18,449 --> 00:07:19,810 And so we think of that as the 199 00:07:19,810 --> 00:07:22,205 partnership. The links job is to make the 200 00:07:22,205 --> 00:07:24,925 connection fast and secure. Okay. And then after 201 00:07:24,925 --> 00:07:27,324 that, it hands off everything else to the 202 00:07:27,324 --> 00:07:28,064 cloud PC. 203 00:07:28,764 --> 00:07:31,404 So it does its physical job and the 204 00:07:31,404 --> 00:07:33,345 cloud does its cloud job. 205 00:07:33,870 --> 00:07:35,710 And so all of the affordances that you 206 00:07:35,710 --> 00:07:37,889 have for teams and other video communication 207 00:07:38,430 --> 00:07:42,449 in the Windows 365 service Uh-huh. Things like, 208 00:07:43,069 --> 00:07:45,150 VDI 2 point o, things like, 209 00:07:45,550 --> 00:07:46,530 you know, redirection. 210 00:07:46,910 --> 00:07:48,689 All of that happens in the cloud, 211 00:07:49,085 --> 00:07:51,025 not on the device. So they're not competing 212 00:07:51,085 --> 00:07:53,965 for that experience. The the device's job is 213 00:07:53,965 --> 00:07:55,564 just to get you there. The cloud takes 214 00:07:55,564 --> 00:07:57,264 care of the rest. Got it. 215 00:08:00,764 --> 00:08:02,845 Do you feel overwhelmed by trying to manage 216 00:08:02,845 --> 00:08:03,824 your Office 365 217 00:08:04,205 --> 00:08:07,300 environment?

00:09:56,914 the device. It just ensures To the Windows 261 00:09:56,914 --> 00:09:59,074 365. To the Cloud PC. PC. Yes. Got 262 00:09:59,074 --> 00:10:00,774 it. Okay. But there's no way to 263 00:10:01,235 --> 00:10:02,754 do an end run around that. Got it. 264 00:10:02,754 --> 00:10:05,670 Yeah. Okay. Right. I'm thinking to customers that 265 00:10:05,670 --> 00:10:07,590 I have because I do consulting as well 266 00:10:07,590 --> 00:10:09,370 as Mhmm. When they go to Windows 365 267 00:10:09,430 --> 00:10:11,690 versus ABD, is it a little bit more 268 00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:13,830 of kinda going along that same theme that 269 00:10:13,830 --> 00:10:15,990 you have with Windows 365 where they don't 270 00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:19,305 have the larger teams to manage Yes. All 271 00:10:19,305 --> 00:10:20,285 within clients 272 00:10:20,745 --> 00:10:21,245 or 273 00:10:21,545 --> 00:10:23,965 I don't wanna say necessarily only an SMB 274 00:10:24,024 --> 00:10:25,705 play, but a little bit more on that 275 00:10:25,705 --> 00:10:26,205 SMB 276 00:10:26,585 --> 00:10:28,125 ease of management side, 277 00:10:28,425 --> 00:10:30,264 that's where the link fits in with Windows 278 00:10:30,264 --> 00:10:30,764 365 279 00:10:31,709 --> 00:10:33,549 versus, I would say, the enterprises tend to 280 00:10:33,549 --> 00:10:34,610 have that bigger 281 00:10:34,990 --> 00:10:35,490 IT 282 00:10:35,949 --> 00:10:38,429 staff that can handle some of that better. 283 00:10:38,429 --> 00:10:40,269 They can, but one of the things that 284 00:10:40,269 --> 00:10:42,909 we've heard from our customers is Mhmm. Their 285 00:10:42,909 --> 00:10:46,125 IT resources and staffing is is finite. Right? 286 00:10:46,524 --> 00:10:48,605 Like and there's so many new things that 287 00:10:48,605 --> 00:10:49,745 people are adopting. 288 00:10:50,205 --> 00:10:52,605 You know, copilot, advanced security, all of these 289 00:10:52,605 --> 00:10:54,284 things, and they don't get more headcount for 290 00:10:54,284 --> 00:10:54,784 it. 291 00:10:55,085 --> 00:10:57,664 So, actually, a lot of our larger customers, 292 00:10:57,884 --> 00:11:00,600 and Wells Fargo and Johnson and Johnson are 293 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,279 2 customers that are here with us this 294 00:11:02,279 --> 00:11:04,699 week. Alright. We'll talk about this on Thursday, 295 00:11:04,919 --> 00:11:06,139 is they were like, look. 296 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,159 We only had so many IT resources, and 297 00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:11,579 we really wanted to have people spending time 298 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,740 on modernizing on prem infra, on adopting Copilot, 299 00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:14,205 on 300 00:11:14,684 --> 00:11:17,424 Copilot, on moving other workloads to the cloud. 301 00:11:17,884 --> 00:11:20,205 This made it really easy for us to 302 00:11:20,205 --> 00:11:22,764 not have IT work on that. Okay. So 303 00:11:22,764 --> 00:11:24,684 they were like, it's so much easier than 304 00:11:24,684 --> 00:11:27,165 on prem VDI. It's so much easier than, 305 00:11:27,165 --> 00:11:29,429 you know, the other solutions we had, like, 306 00:11:29,589 --> 00:11:30,409 whether it was, 307 00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:34,389 you know, keeping old desktops running. Yeah. They 308 00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:36,389 were like, we don't need to worry about 309 00:11:36,389 --> 00:11:38,570 that because we're just moving to Windows 365, 310 00:11:38,870 --> 00:11:40,970 and that's freeing up IT's time 311 00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:43,269 and budget so that we can do other 312 00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:45,174 new things. Got it. Focus on the other 313 00:11:45,174 --> 00:11:45,674 stuff. 314 00:11:46,134 --> 00:11:47,414 I've I've run into that a little I 315 00:11:47,575 --> 00:11:49,654 SharePoint background. Mhmm. And that was one of 316 00:11:49,654 --> 00:11:51,735 those things even the transition from on prem 317 00:11:51,735 --> 00:11:53,174 to the cloud. It was you don't have 318 00:11:53,174 --> 00:11:54,934 to have staff now to worry about SQL 319 00:11:54,934 --> 00:11:56,235 Servers and 320 00:11:57,059 --> 00:12:00,899 maintain patching servers and installing updates as now 321 00:12:00,899 --> 00:12:03,139 we can focus on other stuff. So similar 322 00:12:03,139 --> 00:12:05,779 mindset with Windows 365 and Lync is let 323 00:12:05,779 --> 00:12:07,799 IT folks on things that enhance 324 00:12:08,419 --> 00:12:11,080 the business, bring more business value, simplify 325 00:12:11,707 --> 00:12:14,595 Yeah. How we deploy Windows to Exactly. Other 326 00:12:14,595 --> 00:12:16,195 people. Yeah. Or And then they were like, 327 00:12:16,195 --> 00:12:18,035 and make sure you do that while not 328 00:12:18,035 --> 00:12:20,774 sacrificing either security or employee experience. 329 00:12:21,394 --> 00:12:24,215 Because nobody wants to have, like, a mediocre 330 00:12:24,274 --> 00:12:26,490 Windows experience Yep. So that they can have, 331 00:12:26,490 --> 00:12:29,450 like, a miraculous Copilot experience. Like, those 2 332 00:12:29,450 --> 00:12:31,290 things don't go together. So they were like, 333 00:12:31,290 --> 00:12:31,950 give us 334 00:12:32,330 --> 00:12:35,690 perfect, personal, high fidelity Windows 11 so all 335 00:12:35,690 --> 00:12:38,009 my employees are happy, and then they also 336 00:12:38,009 --> 00:12:40,190 have time to start using things like Copilot. 337 00:12:40,410 --> 00:12:42,464 Yeah. And the security aspect is big too. 338 00:12:42,464 --> 00:12:44,784 Like, when Satya came on stage today, that 339 00:12:44,784 --> 00:12:47,845 was really cool to see. Everybody expected Copilot. 340 00:12:48,065 --> 00:12:49,924 Yes. Right? Because Copilot AI, 341 00:12:50,384 --> 00:12:52,304 but then to see him Copilot Copilot, there 342 00:12:52,304 --> 00:12:54,884 were those 3 Copilot pillars, but then also 343 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,200 security. Yes. And I hear you talking about 344 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,840 that a lot too with

Windows 365 with 345 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,000 this linked device is there's been a lot 346 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,720 of focus on the security aspect of it 347 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,440 as well Absolutely. Which has been really cool. 348 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,995 And is, do you see that even as 349 00:13:08,995 --> 00:13:10,674 an aspect of why people are going to 350 00:13:10,674 --> 00:13:14,054 Windows 365 versus personal devices instead of security? 351 00:13:14,355 --> 00:13:17,794 Yeah. And, you know, VDI or virtualization tools 352 00:13:17,794 --> 00:13:20,034 have traditionally had that element. Right? Otherwise, we'd 353 00:13:20,034 --> 00:13:21,394 just let you run your apps on your 354 00:13:21,394 --> 00:13:23,414 personal PC and, like, cross our fingers. 355 00:13:24,250 --> 00:13:26,169 But what this has allowed them to do 356 00:13:26,169 --> 00:13:28,029 is maintain consistency 357 00:13:28,889 --> 00:13:32,009 in their security posture across endpoints. And so 358 00:13:32,009 --> 00:13:35,230 people absolutely choose Windows 365 for security 359 00:13:36,105 --> 00:13:38,524 because they're able to keep the same baselines, 360 00:13:38,745 --> 00:13:41,464 for example, across their physical PCs and now 361 00:13:41,464 --> 00:13:42,524 their cloud PCs. 362 00:13:42,985 --> 00:13:44,745 So it gives them a more secure sir 363 00:13:44,985 --> 00:13:47,384 security posture, and then they can also use 364 00:13:47,384 --> 00:13:50,490 the same security tools. So we've introduced Hotpatch 365 00:13:50,490 --> 00:13:52,809 type today, for example. Yep. Hot patch will 366 00:13:52,809 --> 00:13:54,970 work on physical PCs and cloud PCs. You 367 00:13:54,970 --> 00:13:57,610 do the same patching, same policies, all the 368 00:13:57,610 --> 00:13:58,429 same thing. 369 00:13:58,970 --> 00:14:00,970 And then with with the linked device as 370 00:14:00,970 --> 00:14:02,970 well, you get the extra layer of, like, 371 00:14:02,970 --> 00:14:05,355 hey. You can't even do anything locally. So 372 00:14:05,355 --> 00:14:07,695 security is a big driver for our customers 373 00:14:08,235 --> 00:14:08,975 for choosing 374 00:14:09,754 --> 00:14:11,695 Windows 11 and Windows 365, 375 00:14:12,075 --> 00:14:14,794 for sure. Oh, okay. Yeah. Yeah. And the 376 00:14:14,794 --> 00:14:16,634 Windows link device, going to the security, it 377 00:14:16,634 --> 00:14:18,394 doesn't even have a hard drive. Right? Did 378 00:14:18,394 --> 00:14:20,075 I hear that right? There's, like, not even 379 00:14:20,075 --> 00:14:20,894 any physical 380 00:14:21,330 --> 00:14:21,830 storage 381 00:14:22,290 --> 00:14:24,290 in that device? Yeah. Just enough to make 382 00:14:24,290 --> 00:14:26,610 it run and make that connection. Okay. Yep. 383 00:14:26,610 --> 00:14:29,170 Just just to perform the linking function. That's 384 00:14:29,170 --> 00:14:31,330 cool. Yeah. And that's one thing I've heard 385 00:14:31,330 --> 00:14:33,590 and one thing so

from a security perspective, 386 00:14:33,730 --> 00:14:34,930 like, I talked to some clients and they're 387 00:14:34,930 --> 00:14:37,085 like, well, why don't they just deploy Intune 388 00:14:37,384 --> 00:14:39,464 and manage all my devices with Intune where 389 00:14:39,464 --> 00:14:41,384 I can remotely wipe them, do all of 390 00:14:41,384 --> 00:14:42,205 that? Like, 391 00:14:42,585 --> 00:14:45,325 what are some of those security security advantages 392 00:14:45,545 --> 00:14:46,445 you've seen 393 00:14:46,825 --> 00:14:48,524 over when you would compare 394 00:14:48,839 --> 00:14:51,079 managing a physical device with Intune versus something 395 00:14:51,079 --> 00:14:52,299 like Windows 365? 396 00:14:52,679 --> 00:14:54,279 If if someone would come to you with 397 00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:55,639 that question, why don't I just manage a 398 00:14:55,639 --> 00:14:58,759 physical device with Intune versus Windows 365? What 399 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:00,839 are those benefits you see? Well, you manage 400 00:15:00,839 --> 00:15:03,444 them both in Intune. So Windows 365 can 401 00:15:03,444 --> 00:15:04,904 only be managed by Intune. 402 00:15:05,284 --> 00:15:07,524 So a lot of our customers are coming 403 00:15:07,524 --> 00:15:09,125 to us and saying and and there was 404 00:15:09,125 --> 00:15:11,464 a big momentum to move towards cloud management 405 00:15:11,845 --> 00:15:13,764 over the last couple of years. Again, I 406 00:15:13,764 --> 00:15:14,964 think a lot of it was sort of, 407 00:15:14,964 --> 00:15:16,919 like, how can we be more in, you 408 00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:19,100 know, efficient and and do things remotely. 409 00:15:19,879 --> 00:15:21,480 But a lot of customers were saying, hey. 410 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,659 I'm sort of living in Intune already. 411 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:25,399 What I would love for you to do 412 00:15:25,399 --> 00:15:28,039 is give me more tools to make that 413 00:15:28,039 --> 00:15:28,539 easier 414 00:15:28,944 --> 00:15:30,944 and to make it more consistent. So if 415 00:15:30,944 --> 00:15:33,024 I'm managing all my cloud PCs in Intune, 416 00:15:33,024 --> 00:15:35,504 I wanna be managing Windows 365 in Intune. 417 00:15:35,504 --> 00:15:37,184 And I then I want to be able 418 00:15:37,184 --> 00:15:38,245 to have those things 419 00:15:38,625 --> 00:15:41,345 be consistent in the image, in how we 420 00:15:41,345 --> 00:15:43,345 push down apps, how we do updates, how 421 00:15:43,345 --> 00:15:45,539 we patch, all of those things. So that's 422 00:15:45,539 --> 00:15:46,440 been our orientation, 423 00:15:46,980 --> 00:15:48,819 is that it's a first class Windows experience, 424 00:15:48,819 --> 00:15:50,899 and it's super easy for IT because it 425 00:15:50,899 --> 00:15:53,539 looks, acts, behaves just like Intune with a 426 00:15:53,539 --> 00:15:55,079 couple of extra affordances 427 00:15:55,940 --> 00:15:57,860 that you can't do on a physical device, 428 00:15:57,860 --> 00:16:00,995 like the ability to wipe it, restore it, 429 00:16:00,995 --> 00:16:02,674 and hand it off to somebody else, the 430 00:16:02,674 --> 00:16:04,214 ability to resize it. 431 00:16:04,674 --> 00:16:06,355 If someone's like, hey, I don't have enough 432 00:16:06,355 --> 00:16:06,855 compute. 433 00:16:07,475 --> 00:16:08,754 I need a or I have a new 434 00:16:08,754 --> 00:16:10,934 dev project I'm kicking off. You can resize 435 00:16:10,995 --> 00:16:14,454 that machine to mortgage Okay. More storage. 436 00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:18,149 The other security benefit that it has also 437 00:16:18,149 --> 00:16:20,710 managed in Intune is what Satya talked about 438 00:16:20,710 --> 00:16:22,490 briefly, which is point in time restore. 439 00:16:22,950 --> 00:16:25,350 So the ability to roll it back to 440 00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:26,889 up to 10 preset 441 00:16:27,485 --> 00:16:28,625 moments in time 442 00:16:29,084 --> 00:16:31,485 by IT so that if something were to 443 00:16:31,485 --> 00:16:31,985 occur, 444 00:16:32,365 --> 00:16:34,684 whether it is I left it on a 445 00:16:34,684 --> 00:16:35,184 bus 446 00:16:35,964 --> 00:16:37,884 and now I need to log back in 447 00:16:37,884 --> 00:16:39,404 and I need that thing that was on 448 00:16:39,404 --> 00:16:41,589 the bus to be gone or whether it 449 00:16:41,589 --> 00:16:44,069 is an incident occurs. So being able to 450 00:16:44,069 --> 00:16:44,730 roll back 451 00:16:45,110 --> 00:16:47,829 to an earlier protected state is another thing 452 00:16:47,829 --> 00:16:49,509 we can uniquely do in the cloud. We'll 453 00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:51,049 certainly look to bring that 454 00:16:51,509 --> 00:16:52,730 type of resiliency 455 00:16:53,110 --> 00:16:55,585 to other Windows endpoints, but it's kind of 456 00:16:55,585 --> 00:16:58,565 everything good about Intune and Windows PC Management 457 00:16:58,945 --> 00:17:01,024 plus some stuff in the cloud. Okay. Yeah. 458 00:17:01,024 --> 00:17:03,664 Very cool. Well, we're out of time. Anything 459 00:17:03,664 --> 00:17:05,204 else you wanna 460 00:17:05,505 --> 00:17:07,345 end with? Anything else you want people to 461 00:17:07,345 --> 00:17:10,799 know about Windows 365, Windows 365 link? Yeah. 462 00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:13,059 I would just say, like, it was built 463 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,539 based on customer feedback and need. 464 00:17:15,919 --> 00:17:18,799 The link was built based on customer requests 465 00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:20,659 for, like, this is what we want. 466 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:22,240 And so I would just say keep the 467 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,875 feedback coming.
