WTF? Did Microsoft hold a series of internal meetings where they decided to use the *worst* possible new name for Windows Remote Desktop? I received an email this morning from a customer who had an issue with “Windows App,” and I was 99% sure I was being phished/attacked, and nearly tossed it in the trash (especially as it had an attached 1MB Word file).

But no, “Windows App” is really the new name for Microsoft Remote Desktop. I have no idea when that happened, but it’s horrible.

Captured within some of those meetings..

“We need a name that’s less web searchable than Books, Calculator, Numbers, Pages, etc. We’ll show Apple!”

‘Oooh oooh … I’ve got one! Let’s call it Windows App!’

@rgriff What the actual fuck.
