Their newest app to connect to virtual desktops (that I’m aware of) is named Windows App. Searching for info on that fucking thing was a pain in the ass.
It was called Remote Desktop before, but some security problems, and the fact you can connect to a program running on a server (rather than the whole OS interface) … Made them rename it, most of the tech is still the same though and most guides still apply to it.
Come to think of it, I seem to remember that the connect to an app, rather than desktop functionality was available in Windows Server 2012, so renaming it now is a delayed response at best.

Yeah replacing the previous app (which was also a shitty name btw) was why I had to look up information about it.
Now imagine naming a social media platform after a letter of the alphabet 🙃
Or don’t, because that guy is busy getting access to the Fed to burn everything down.
I don’t remember, was it Microsoft or just the journalists saying

They should hire someone to name things there. The only worse name I can think of would be to drop the “App” and just call it “Windows”.
