    Much more interesting is the part about Relayed RDP Shortpath. With STUN and TURN and even a relay it sounds like this will enable some usecases similar to TeamViewer

    And I thought developers were bad at naming.

    The Microsoft school of naming things is really showing their ways

      Developers are usually not bad at naming. Marketing on the other hand…

    Can’t believe they don’t have proofreaders at ars technicha. Reading is fundamental 😘

    It’s not a Windows app, it’s an app for macOS, IOS, and Android.

      If you would read the article you would know that the title is perfectly correct, as currently it’s only available to Win, other platforms are just planned.

      It’s an RDP client you can connect to pcs on the network or vms on azure

    The Android version of the app still has the zoom/cursor offset bug when using a software keyboard from when they sunset RDP 8. That has been a severe usability bug for over three years now.

      They literally ran out of ideas, like, 20 years ago?

      They’ve just been trying to say random-ass shit to justify their marketing budget since then.

      Windows basically stopped around 7 and mostly went backwards, and when is the last time you thought about the version of office you use? Do you even use office, or can you get by with google docs?

      OneDrive is by far more of a pain in the ass than anything else, nobody ever WANTS to use it, they mostly get hijacked by it early on and try to ignore it like a masturbating hobo on a subway car.

    Will it serve me ads or do I need to find those myself?
