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.

They could have named it Window window but that might have been too descriptive
