    Question Has anyone tried Excel on Windows 365 yet, ideally on a Mac?

    So Windows 365 is finally available, allowing anyone to stream Windows and Windows apps from the cloud. (Note that this is not the same as Office 365.)

    My primary computer is a MacBook Pro, but for years, I've dealt with owning a separate Windows laptop simply for purposes of Excel, as I far prefer the Windows version of Excel to the Mac one.

    It seems like Windows 365 might be the solution I've long been waiting for, as it could allow me to run the Windows version of Excel on my MacBook Pro, and thus finally ditch my Windows laptop. (I realize other solutions have previously existed, such as using virtualization software like Parallels, but Windows 365 seems like a less cumbersome solution.)

    I'm curious if anyone in the forum has given Windows 365 a shot yet, particularly running it on Macs for purposes of using the Windows version of Excel. What has your experience been like? How comparable has it been to running Excel on a Windows computer? How do keyboard shortcuts work? I'd love to hear about it.

    This is not an Excel question, so I've moved it to the Water Cooler.

    Sorry, how is this not an Excel question? I'm specifically asking about people's experience using Excel on Windows 365.

    Seems like a pretty expensive option compared to a VM to me.
