    “Reserve Cloud PCs” will be preloaded with Microsoft 365 apps and a user’s preferred security policies and other Windows customizations.

    You need a working PC to access this ‘reserve’ PC. Why not just install Office on your own PC and ignore this extra cloud thing?

      can’t you use a tablet, phone, or any other pc like your 10 year old laptop running Linux?

      it’s only meant for temporary situations, 10 total days per year. I guess the idea is you’d use loaner PCs to access this while getting repairs done or before you’ve gotten a new PC. but yeah i kinda doubt there’s a huge market for this kind of service.
