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.

If I were on their developer team this shit would make me depressed for at least a week. Like, It's an objectively horrible idea, obviously pushed by someone from marketing or (worse) leadership. An intern can tell you why it's bad, a fucking llm can see it based on description alone.

Yet everyone have to live with it.

Probably not marketing; they live and breathe SEO. My guess is they're trying to push service contracts, so they want to make their stuff impossible to look up.

a fucking llm can see it based on description alone.

Even Copilot says it's not good:

"is it smart to rename Remote Desktop (for Windows) to "Windows App"?"

That would probably create more confusion than clarity! "Remote Desktop" is a specific tool that allows users to access a different computer remotely, while "Windows App" is an incredibly broad name that could refer to any application running on Windows. If Microsoft were to rename it that way, people might struggle to understand its purpose at a glance.

People are using this in corporate environments. No one has a choice.

We use a few Ubuntu and Fedora machines at work and I've been pushing for more.

A hard choice, but it's still a choice to leave the corporate environment.

I'm not giving up my already shitty livelihood to not have to use Microsoft shit.
