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.

recently, I need to remote desktop from Mac to Windows, and I was searching around for products, and I came across a blog post recommending Windows App, and I had no fucking idea what it was. I thought it may have been a windows 8 app that is discontinued. The geniuses at microsoft SUCK at naming. Xbox, Xbox 360, xbox One (which was actually the third iteration, for some reason), xbox series x/s. Like wtf.

Windows 1, 2, 3, 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP, Vista, 7????, 8, 8.1, 10????, 11, 11 21H2, 11 22H2, .......

[–] Kornblumenratte@feddit.org 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

AFAIK, Windows was discontinued after Vista. Windows 7 is actually the 7^th iteration of the Microsoft version of OS/2, which was rebranded as Windows NT with the release of the third version, and as Windows sine NT with the seventh version. Windows 9 had to be skipped because a sloppy version check for Windows 95/98 would have failed.

[–] flubba86@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Kind of right. Windows ME was the final version of windows (you probably forgot about that one).

After that, XP, vista, windows 7, were all based on NT.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

When windows 9 comes out it will all work again.

[–] Nikelui@lemmy.world 23 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

Bold of you to think the next one will not be called Windows365

that's a strange name for an operating system i'd've called it Chazzwozzers

[–] Zink@programming.dev 2 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I thought they were supposed to do the whole "last version of Windows that will be updated forever" with Windows 10, and of course abandoned that some time ago.

My gut feeling is that their product management marketing folks came to the conclusion that Windows as a subscription was not going to work for the consumer market where the OS is something that's just part of the device you buy. And in discussions with system OEMs they made the decision that consumers like it when the version number goes up, so increasing that windows number every several years will move systems.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Windows 11 displays as Windows 10 in a large number of places internally. It's just a later revision than any of the "actually" Windows 10 ones.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 1 points 22 minutes ago

Interesting. Maybe that supports my guess.

It’s not without precedent though. I remember seeing NT references for a long time from win2k on.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 3 points 7 hours ago

Bold of you to think I have any expectations of Microsoft to not suck. I will wait until 9 comes out before I put another windows OS on my machines. Since why after all this, would anyone trust a software company to do anything well that can not count to 10?

[–] Manalith@midwest.social 5 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

That already exists as their cloud virtual desktop service.

Edit: I could see them releasing a line of products and an ISO for Windows365Client that just makes the machine a thin client dedicated to rdping, or I guess Windows Apping now, to the Windows365 PC.

Apple is worse. Everything has the same name but gen 1, gen 2, gen 3 as a suffix.

[–] Mesophar@pawb.social 8 points 9 hours ago

At least the numbers are sequential there, though...

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

don't worry, microsoft will surely make a discord where all their knowledge bases and information will be moved to, making it even easier to find info than it already is /s

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

But first they'll buy Discord and force everyone to abandon their exiting usernames to use a Microsoft account with it instead.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I honestly would be down with that.

Mostly because I'd love to see discord go under and to have tech support and interaction go back to websites and forums, where they are indexed, searchable, and archivable so information can be easily searched for again, and not lost forever should a discord go under.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Same but - I was actually relieved Microsoft finally MADE an RDP client for Mac again. What was wrong with RDP for Mac? It was fine and they axed it. But them replacing RDP everywhere is just hilarious.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

They didn't even change anything except the ui. It's still just old rdp with less features.

[–] podperson@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago

I don't work for them, but I'd recommend Jump Desktop for that. Works very well and has been out for quite some time.
