07/13/2026, 9:46 PM@Jeff Riechers sorry w365 would not be mult-user.. AVD would for sure, at least thats what I'd assume 🙂

07/13/2026, 9:47 PMHaven't played with w365, didn't know if they had multi user yet. Yeah, 4x16 with lots of tuning.

07/14/2026, 6:56 PMRemember that 4 vcpus generally means 2 cores and 2 threads... Meaning slow af..
