I wouldn’t be surprised if this came in a visionOS update. On a shorter timescale it could also come in the form of third party apps, because there’s no technical limitations preventing a server app from cutting out windows on a desktop OS and sending them over a wire to a visionOS client.

If Apple approves it, of course. This is one of my major concerns; there's a lot of potentially useful functionality that could be implemented, but you have to jump through the app store hoops and hope that Apple doesn't decide that it conflicts with their idea of what you should be allowed to do.

Functionally speaking these apps would be scarcely distinguishable from the plethora of screen streaming apps that exist on the App Store already, like Screens and Moonlight. Of course Apple could reject these apps anyway but it seems unlikely.

There are third party apps that do this already on the Quest. I believe they can replicate Mac screens, they definitely can replicate Windows PC screens into the VR space. If Apple doesn't provide a 1st party solution I suspect someone else will soon.
