Hey Folks, we currently do VDI for our developer desktops, MCS + W10. We were going to upgrade W11 but thinking about it, with our current licenses, it would be slightly cheaper to provide one VM running Windows Server 2025 per user! The support of W25 including O365 is longer than W11 24H2 (Oct 2029 vs Oct 2027) and features available more predictable. Also, our devs develop apps running on Windows Server. I can't really see a reason of not doing it! What do you think? Am I going crazy?

did you have the RDS-Cal in mind?

Yes we have it

My brain worries about developers slapping each other on a shared host - I typically always designed for them to sit in their own bubble so that no one yelled - though it’s not bulletproof of course

It won't be a shared host, it's one VM per user :) We have datacenter licenses and RDS CAL.

Oh wow I completely missed that 🤦‍♂️

OK great that's good to know!

You can install the Workstation VDA on it by specifying the /SERVERVDI flag

Awesome, thanks Rody! No sign of W25 yet?
