That's a terrible name for a remote desktop application.

Is this one of those "yo, you like Windows, so we put some Windows in your Windows" joke that I'm too Linux to understand?

I mean, Windows has had windows since day one.

I'm sorry, I don't like any of these names

[–] tal@lemmy.today 1 points 2 hours ago

They don't blow me away either, but I'd still rate them above what Microsoft's actually using.

This is a huge hit to desktop ownership of the OS. Microsoft has officially made zero-trust a reality by doing this.

I expect there will be even more news at Ignite. Bear in mind 11 has been requiring a MS account for years and 10 is in it's final months. Pushing users to cloud only Windows allows them (and their corporate customers) complete control of the ecosystem.
