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.

Christ, it was stupid when they renamed it on macOS... this is just embarrassing now.

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Would recommend RustDesk instead.

[–] Armand1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Yep, been using it for years now.

Moved over from RealVNC due to licensing limitations and problems with speed and I've never looked back.

Can't not think of Apple who have been doing simple names like this forever. But contrary to this here, it seems to work in the Apple ecosystem because over there things like that mean one thing.

Can anyone recommend a Remote Desktop client for macOS, preferably something free and with tabs?

People mock App as a Mac thing, iOS thing. But it was never part of the actual app name. Just a file extension.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Well it’s short for Application. Which evolved from what we used to call a program.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Of course it is. That’s not my point. My point was Microsoft is tasteless to include it in the app name.

What will it take for them to finally lose market share?

I'm seeing mini pcs for sale for basically the same price as the windows license that comes installed on the system. They must be quite literally giving them away at this point to compete with Linux.

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

When Windows 12 is also sucks.

TBF, they are probably losing a little bit. I'm in the process of jumping to Linux, and I started on Microsoft operating systems at age 4.

I hate that they renamed it on iOS but not Mac. Now my fingers can’t remember just one thing.

[–] klay@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

Wait. Is this a push to use their AI more? Like i can't google for Remote Desktop help with the new name easily anymore so i would use the ai, which already sees that i opened the app and has a context advantage?
