The top bit got me recently, I hadn’t needed to remote into my desktop in a while and searched “Remote” and “RDP” and found nothing. Eventually I found it was renamed to the windows app and finally logged in but was baffled as to why they would do that.
This is the dumbest rebranding ever. If I tried really hard to make it as dumb as possible, I'd still not be able to come up with such a horrendously bad idea.
Even if they renamed it to “Now You Too Can Have Magical Long Fingers and Vision” it would be somewhat descriptive of what it does.
Like how many people were involved in this decision? Let's just call it "computer program".

I was in a computer store a few years ago watching a young guy trying to sell a tablet to an older woman. He said "the good news about this is that it can't get viruses because it runs apps".
everyone knows viruses are allergic to apps
