Azure RemoteApp

Azure RemoteApp Client UI

The Azure RemoteApp Client UI

I just got approved for Azure RemoteApp Preview! It has promise, though the demo will do little more than let me run just a few pre-populated in the cloud.  Alas, it is just a demo.  It took about 10 days from the time I signed up until I actually got access, so the sooner the better.

  1. Sign up for the demo.
  2. Then download the client.

Currently Available Apps:

  • Adobe Reader XI
  • Calculator
  • Excel
  • IE
  • OneNote
  • Outlook
