Cowork on Windows! Early days, we're actively developing, so expect a lot of improvements and changes.
Grab it at and let me know what you think!
Some nerdy below-the-hood technical details in thread →claude.com/download
Claude gets its own sandboxed Linux VM: An environment separate from your machine where Claude can write code and run commands without touching your actual system. Under the hood, we're using the same Hyper-V virtualization technology that powers WSL2.
On macOS, the VM runs in user space and inside our app's process. On Windows, Hyper-V requires SYSTEM privileges. So we built a separate Go service that runs as LocalSystem and manages the VM. The app talks to it over a Windows named pipe.
