You mean "Microsoft Terminal Services Client"?
Wow where’d they get that jenius branding idea, I wonder.
Microsoft. Never changes.
They should invest a couple billion in it, rename it and cancel afterwards.
You're thinking of Google, not Microsoft.
No, M$. The whole Windows Phone 7 Series or whatever it was called at some point saga
Microsoft will rename it, add something else in its place but let the old things linger in a zombie-like state.
Lost count of how many separate Skype/Zoom apps there are now.
First big tech slapped "powered by AI!" on everything and now - a mere 2 years later - it has been exposed as nothing but a safety risk without a tangible benefit, they're trying their best to hide it's mere existence while still dumping it into everything. They just can't help it.
Sometimes a great idea just comes to you out of nowhere at all!
It will be as successfull as the twitter to x rebranding
Microsoft's naming strategy is just the American Economics wheel from South Park, but with names on it. Of all the big tech companies, they are easily the fucking worst at naming shit.
Ugh
