So…yeah. Seems MS, in their endless wisdom has decided to rename their virtual desktop software, called before as “Remote Desktop” (and good luck trying to find issues with that that are not related to the old RDP tool MTSC.exe) to… “Windows App”. Perfect. Now everything will look like everything, and there’s no way to ever try to search for help for it. Next in line, I guess they can call it just “App”. I’m sure that will help everyone.

      Terminal Server licensing will be bringing them in a tidy amount of money from on-prem enterprises, but it’s true that Windows App has a heavy focus on Azure and will definitely be aiming to push people in that direction - it can’t even connect to remote Windows PCs.
