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.
Worse than Twitter to X? At least windows app is loosely related to the original overall branding
It would be more like renaming twitter to internet website, which yes, despite everything, is worse than X.
internet.website is available to register but I checked a couple registrars and they all seem to have it as a premium domain that costs several thousand to register.
