Hi, I’m Christian Montoya, Senior PM Manager on the Windows Cloud Experiences Team at Microsoft. Each month, I host a live one-hour Ask Microsoft Anything (AMA) event to discuss what’s new and help out with what is top of mind when it comes to Windows in the cloud. Our AMAs alternate between Windows 365 and Azure Virtual Desktop, but one thing is always the same. This is a great chance to get answers to your questions and learn from many different members of the product, engineering, and customer experience teams.
