Microsoft has announced Windows 365, a new service where you can pay a subscription for a Windows PC in the cloud that you can run on your other devices (like a Mac or iPad). These won’t be gaming class machines like you could get from Shadow, but they’ll also probably be less expensive and easier to maintain.

I’m hearing from plenty of Mac users that are worried about losing access to Windows as Apple Silicon spreads throughout the line. This could be the solution. We’re still waiting on pricing and some real-world usage reporting, but Windows 365 is set to launch on August 2, so I expect we’ll be learning a lot more soon.
