Trying to size a Cloud Workspace estate, staring at four Microsoft products that all promise to deliver Windows from the cloud? You're not alone, and you're probably looking at four pricing sheets that don't live in the same family.

This second EUC News Nugget is your seven-minute orientation to the Microsoft Cloud Workspace Comparison Sheet, a workload-first map of the four ways Microsoft now sells Windows in the cloud: Azure Virtual Desktop (including AVD for Hybrid workloads, Public Preview May 2026), Windows 365 Enterprise, Windows 365 Flex (formerly Frontline), and Windows 365 for Agents (Public Preview, US only).

No vendor pitch. No abstract cloud talk. Just the four shapes of work. Pricing models from per VM-hour, to per user per month, to per license covering three users, to cents per task. One scenario per product: 200 CAD designers on a Nutanix cluster that has to stay on-premises, a 90-person marketing agency on Intune, three retail shift managers sharing one Flex license, and a Copilot Studio agent doing procurement for a 320-employee distributor.

You'll walk away with a working sense of when AVD for Hybrid earns its keep, why Windows 365 Enterprise stays the textbook fit for one-to-one knowledge workers, what Flex actually unlocks for shift roles and contractors, and how Windows 365 for Agents reframes Cloud PC economics at around twenty-four cents per run. Plus the one rule that ties all four together: pick by the shape of the work, not by the brand.

Four products, four scenarios, one cheat sheet, compressed into around seven minutes.
