I left a few suggestion. Can you please test it on all three major clouds?

See coder/registry-server#204 and coder/registry-server#199. We still need to implement these in the backend.

@Parkreiner, is it fine if we add these extra metadata entries even though they are yet handled in the registry server?

## Requirements

- **Coder Desktop**: Must be installed on the client machine ([Download here](https://github.com/coder/coder/releases))
- **Windows Workspace**: The target workspace must be running Windows

I hope we can handle this using metadata, a badge, and a filter in the frontend. coder/registry-server#199

should I leave the coder desktop requirement since it is not supported with the badges at the moment?

@matifali I have commit the resolutions to your issues.

I will go ahead and test these in each environment so we can verify that it works across the board before releasing.
