    Lol, they’re just renaming Remote Desktop to Windows.

    So I can use Windows to connect to Windows, and run my Windows.

    Truly a moment of marketing brilliance.

      They love to do this. 2 years ago they renamed Office (the online, browser based version) to Microsoft 365 https://www.computerworld.com/article/1614302/office-to-be-rebranded-microsoft-365.html

      They can present the “new” apps to shareholders

        This comes full circle with everyone’s grandma incessantly calling every piece of software on their computer “The Microsoft.”

      Only it comes standard with the multiyear bugs only just patched in remote desktop for windows, like an inability to remember where you monitors have always been.

      At least they didn’t cancel it and make two new programs that each do 70% of what it did. Looking at you, Google.
