Microsoft Remote desktop brought out a beta version earlier in the year that allowed users to access Windows apps and desktops directly from an Android phone or tablet.

Windows Virtual Desktop allows you to run a virtual machine on your device (which in layman’s terms means you might be able to run an instance of your PC at work in the office you can no longer get access to from home, and from now on your Android device
