    Remote Desktop clients for Linux got good enough that they felt the need to replace it with a new protocol with no linux clients?

        I see. Sort of. They do say it’s (also) a complete replacement for “Remote Desktop Connection” which does appear to be about connecting to PCs. I don’t know anything about MS products, just thought it odd that they chose to support “macOS, iOS, and Android.”

    So one of the two things Windows is good for - acting as a terminal for remotely accessing better operating systems, is getting a new name that obscures exactly that most useful use case. Yeah, that tracks.

    Microsoft must be feeling the need to shore up the walls so their remaining users can’t leave as easily.

    (Sarcasm/Serious: Let’s say 50/50. I am actually aware that some people have other uses for Windows.)

      Eh, this won’t stop anyone remotely tech savvy. I use a 3rd party software to do rdp, ssh, etc.

    As somebody who has to work with deploying this software for consultants that use W365 Cloud PCs, fuck this name. If there is an error or an issue with it, good fucking luck trying to Google a solution because searching for “Windows App Error” gets you nowhere fucking useful.
