TLDR: how can I virtualize (1) a windows desktop (WINFORMS) application to run on a mac desktop, and (2) how to deploy that to external users via azure?
Hi,
Before we start: tiny business with a saas tool distributed to 15isch customers.
Currently I have a saas desktop application thats windows only (winforms ui).
A few of our clients only have mac, so we provided them acces via a windows VM that
we host on azure and has our application installed on it.
What im trying to find out:
Is there a way to minimize this so the customer doesnt have to connect to a VM and has a full desktop ?
I just want them to be able to open and use the application exactly the same as a windows user.
Can this be done (being a windows forms application)?
Its very confusing to find the simplest and least expensive option for this.
Azure remote app streaming ? Citrix virtual app? Vmware virtual app?
Are these things needed together ??? -.-
My appologies but its overwhelming to someone who never had to deal with cross platform or external deployment.
