Anthropic's Claude Cowork, a desktop agent for knowledge work, is now available on Windows, launching on February 10, 2026, with full feature parity to its macOS counterpart. However, users with Windows Home edition may encounter issues as the agent requires Hyper-V, which is not included in that version. For Linux users, there is currently no official Claude Cowork application, necessitating alternative solutions for those operating on Linux systems. The agent requires a paid Claude plan and runs within the Claude Desktop application, which must remain open during task execution. AI
IMPACT This release expands access to Anthropic's AI agent for knowledge workers on Windows, though Linux users face limitations.
RANK_REASON This is a product launch for a specific agent, not a core frontier model release.
