Key notes
Remember when we told you, just a few days ago, that theWindows 365 Cloud PC had become availableand that everyone can start signing up?
Well, now Microsoft has announced that they will be pausing Windows 365 trial sign-ups.
And judging by the tweet from Scott Manchester, the director of program management for Windows 365, it’s because of the overwhelming demand for this service, as they received an unbelievable response to it.
We have seen unbelievable response to#Windows365and need to pause our free trial program while we provision additional capacity. Sign up below to get notified when trials resume.https://t.co/Q05C7cBWMh
So, in other words, Windows 365 trials have maxed out in just days.
Microsoft has halted free trial signups
For the time being, at least, you can buy Windows 365, but if you still want to try it for free, you’ll have to sign up for notifications in this regard.
Why is everyone so eager to try this new Microsoft product you ask?
Maybe because the Business and Enterprise plans come with a few features and perks with Windows 365 Cloud PC.
The Redmond tech giant also guaranteed cloud security by Zero Trust and will keep Microsoft Defender for Endpoint around for extra security measures.
Also, businesses with more than 150 users will have access to App Assure to fix app issues without additional fees.
These are just some of the reasons why people absolutely flocked to get their hands on the free trials and take it for a test drive.
Following significant demand, we have reached capacity for Windows 365 trials. Sign up to receive a notification when trials resume or buy today, here:https://t.co/Jji5RbfTbT
We can’t know for sure when Microsoft users can expect another batch of free trials to be available, but the company says that it’s making all efforts to allow this to happen.
Yesterday, a Microsoft spokesperson reiterated the message the company shared on Twitter, saying it was pausing new trials following high demand.
So, those of us that haven’t yet had the chance to signup are now left hanging, with the promise of greener pastures over the horizon.
