So...yeah. Seems MS, in their endless wisdom has decided to rename their virtual desktop software, called before as "Remote Desktop" (and good luck trying to find issues with that that are not related to the old RDP tool MTSC.exe) to.... "Windows App". Perfect. Now everything will look like everything, and there's no way to ever try to search for help for it. Next in line, I guess they can call it just "App". I'm sure that will help everyone.

Oh, those sad, sad motherfuckers. My only concern is too many Linux Immigrants. Stay in your shitty corporate hell. It's not like there's any other option. /s

I haven't found Microsoft Documentation for anything since Word for Mac 5 on my Apple Centris 650 in 1992, and I only had that because it came in a printed book.

So this is on par with the Microsoft way: Let other people charge you for outdated help.

Still laughing my ass off... Imagine trying to Google for solutions to "windows app" :) :)

But we live in a world where Muskie renamed Twitter to X, so....some serious brain damage going on all over the place.

Im starting to feel smarter now, as an effect of these guys becoming dumber and dumber, so I guess thats a plus.

As a Visual Studio Professional user it’s so hard to google help for that too without VSCode leaking into the results.

Microsoft never ceases to amaze me with anti consumer decisions.

Even "App App" would be better.

I knew I had remote desktop on my work laptop, because I had used it before, but the other day I was trying to open remote desktop and nothing came up, so I created an IT support ticket only for them to tell me it was now called Windows App...

You just know somebody in that meeting suggested adding "copilot" in there somewhere.

Bet: They will implement a chatbot using recall as Windows help, integrate it into something like Windows help and make a premium version of a stupid AI try to reverse engineering what you tried to do while guessing for Solutions neither the operator nor the ai understands. Is there a "remind me in 3 years"?

[–] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 15 points 1 day ago

I saw this on my work computer the other day and I couldn’t figure out what the fuck it was. This explains it. Wtf

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 9 points 1 day ago

These assholes are prepping up with a cloud service with a name change like that.

This is some Twitter-tier rebranding failure.
