Today, Microsoft unveiled an unexpected twist in desktop PC technology: instead of a traditional device, they are introducing the world’s first “boot-to-cloud” computer. This innovative gadget, named the “Windows 365 Link,” will only run Windows 11 by streaming it online via Windows 365 service. It is scheduled to hit the market in April 2025 for $349.
Previously hinted at by Meta in September, Microsoft has now officially revealed a closer connection between Windows 11 and Meta Quest virtual reality headsets. This new integration was presented during its Ignite 2024 event. Consequently, users of Meta Quest devices can expect a user-friendly process to pair their Windows 11 PC with their VR space on the Meta Quest 3 and 3S, allowing for smooth streaming directly into their virtual reality environment.
Over three-and-a-half decades, Windows has established itself as a dominant force in professional settings, with countless computers worldwide running this operating system. Due to its widespread use, Windows systems are frequently targeted by cyberattacks.

At their Ignite 2024 conference, Microsoft detailed their plans for enhancing the security of Windows 11, discussed why upgrading to the most recent version is important, and revealed upcoming security features.
On Windows 11, you’ll find a protective security element called Microsoft Defender Firewall. This integrated feature serves as a shield for your computer, safeguarding it from unwanted online or network intrusions. Essentially, it functions like a guardpost, scrutinizing both inbound and outbound network data flows and blocking suspect connections that could pose a threat.
