I love the idea of desktop-as-a-service but all the current implementations are way to expensive. It's hard to justify paying for a machine on a per-minute basis at the kind of rates that, MS for example, is charging.

Chrome Enterprise is $50 a device per year and gets you access to Managed Google Play via an approved Enterprise Mobility Manage for Cisco Meraki; Citrix XenMobile; IBM MaaS360; ManageEngine Mobile Device Manager Plus; or VMware Workspace ONE. It also includes Active Directory (AD) integration.

Isn't that just Chrome? I took the OP to mean a dev desktop environment, like Windows, for example. Those are still expensive on a hosted basis.
