    Haha that just sounds like a list of gibberish words! I love tech naming when it doesn’t include Copilot or a lowercase i :p

      Yeah, don’t ask tech people to name things. Microsoft has like 500 different things called “Razor.”

        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.

          The windows app let’s you run windows apps on windows

          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.

          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”.
