return2ozmaMicrosoft releases a new Windows app called Windows App for running Windows apps
PhiloReading is fundamental đ
Itâs not a Windows app, itâs an app for macOS, IOS, and Android.
ohwhatfollyismanso, old Wine in a new bottle?
Hopefully with no bugs.
No itâs an RDP (Remote desktop) client
If you would read the article you would know that the title is perfectly correct, as currently itâs only available to Win, other platforms are just planned.
Itâs an RDP client you can connect to pcs on the network or vms on azure
Windows App - Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store
Windows App is your gateway to securely connect to Windows across Windows 365, Azure Virtual Desktop, Microsoft Dev Box, and more. Embrace the simplicity of a unified client with Windows App and use your work or school account to connect to your Windows in the Cloud with ease and security, from the device of your choice. By downloading Windows App, you agree to the license (see aka.ms/WindowsAppLicense) and privacy terms (see aka.ms/privacy).
Qyo dawg
jaxiiruffwhat the hell microsoft
They literally ran out of ideas, like, 20 years ago?
Theyâve 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?
In the future, all Windows apps will be part of Windows App.
Is that kind of like how I talk to my team on the teamâs app and send files and messages to them in the team in the teams app?
They seriously need a new marketing group.
Itâs like how they made the Xbox, then the Xbox one, then the Xbox one X, then the Xbox one series X. (Yeah there were other options between/simultaneous, but this sequence is a nice clean illustration.)
Not to mention the Xbox Box, and the shipping cintainer full of 'em, the Xbox Box Box
I mean, itâs internally consistent with the inbetween too, for the first three:
They went Xbox, did a 360 to face the same direction, and re-released the Xbox 1
At least with the 360 youâre sure which one youâre talking about.
Yup. Couldâve been a future where they went from Xbox 360 to Xbox 720 to Xbox 1080 and so on. They probably got scared that some of the audience would have thought that the Xbox 720 would only do 720p, then crapped the bed.
Teams in Teams is the naming I hate the most. Should have called them communities to match Viva Engage (Yammer) or just groups.

MrSoupUpvoted for title.
Classic Microsoft, muddying the waters of something that was clearly defined in its role and name
Very Aladeen of them!

The only possible way Microsoft can be this bad at naming things is if they are actively doing it on purpose.
How can they expect regular people to remember what the Windows app does? It would seriously be better to pick a word at random than to overload the meaning of âWindowsâ again.
Here are some way better names right off the top of my head:
- Kablam!
- Telefenestra
- Portle
- Microsoft microdo
Telefenestra
Is that where you defenestrate somebody remotely?
ikiddDa, comrade.
Lol not as original as I thought!
dual_sport_dork đ§đĄď¸Theyâve come full circle jerk.
Yo dawg, I heard you like Windows, so we put Windows in your Windows so you can use Windows while you use Windows
These guys survive just from the license dependency of corporations
Their only product is that more programs run in windowd and people love the interface even though they keep fixing with it.
I strongly dislike Windows - the only Windows device on my network is my wifeâs work computer. However, my favorite desktop interface is the one Windows had in XP and 10. I even use Cinnamon because itâs the most similar experience (and shares a lot of the same key shortcuts I learned as a kid).
Did they just rein ent Norton Anywhere?
Eager EagleAnd 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 handâŚ

This will be really easy to google for.

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

Iâm just here for the yo dawg memes.
Jojo, Lady of the WestThe irony is that I do, in fact, like mudkips.
xcjsThe 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.
x00zaDo they have some new techbro CEO?

This is not confusing. AT ALL!
I hope theyâve made it easier
Gold medal of tautology.
At this point, people still using windows voluntarily donât deserve any better. And IT departments having a choice but forcing windows on users deserve to be burned at the stake.
Prethoryn OvermindAh yes, the always shitty, âI know everything because I am that business and person all the time and better than them.â Shit fucking comment.
At this point people who are like, âjust use Linuxâ sound like, âjust buy an iPhone.â The only difference is the Linux people donât end up actually knowing shit about enterprise environments
I will get down voted because Lemmy is an Echo Chamber with people circle jerking their self justified opinions.
But seriously fuck off, dude. Anyone that literally says this doesnât know shit about an actual environment.
Let me know when fucking Oracleâs shitty products work better on Linux boxes over Windows when their own fucking Linux products donât work. I will go to the business I am a part of right now and let them know we should just hire you to make all of our financial and enterprise setup choices because you said so.
You have zero reading comprehension. Good job wasting your time on a pointless rant.
Booooooo
Fuck right off with this elitist âthey deserve itâ shit
Do I sense some inner tensions due to frustration with using Microsoftâs sorry excuse for an OS?
