So one of the two things Windows is good for - acting as a terminal for remotely accessing better operating systems, is getting a new name that obscures exactly that most useful use case. Yeah, that tracks.

Microsoft must be feeling the need to shore up the walls so their remaining users can’t leave as easily.

(Sarcasm/Serious: Let’s say 50/50. I am actually aware that some people have other uses for Windows.)

Remote Desktop clients for Linux got good enough that they felt the need to replace it with a new protocol with no linux clients?

You mean standard RDP clients? This is a VDI client to connect to an azure instance for example. It replaces another azure client named “Remote Desktop” (yeah…i know). It’s different from the native by default rdp client you run by typing mstsc.exe. they suck with naming.

I see. Sort of. They do say it’s (also) a complete replacement for “Remote Desktop Connection” which does appear to be about connecting to PCs. I don’t know anything about MS products, just thought it odd that they chose to support “macOS, iOS, and Android.”
