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.

@rgriff at a different software company "customers can install our app on all their devices. We have the iPhone app, android app, windows app" "yes...customer support clocked out early yesterday. A customer tried to explain that their windows app isn't starting, and customer support suggested they should reinstall our app to see if that fixes the issue, and the customer didn't manage to explain that they need the windows app to do anything about the installation of the <productname> windows app"
