Is this one of those "yo, you like Windows, so we put some Windows in your Windows" joke that I'm too Linux to understand?
That's a terrible name for a remote desktop application.
I asked Microsoft Copilot for names.
Windows Anywhere
WinConnect
Windows Hub
WinAccess
Windows Portal
WinLink
Windows Bridge
WinRemote
Windows Gateway
WinFlex
- I'm sorry, I don't like any of these names
- Crash Bandicoot Apps
  Titanic Apps
- I'd say at least half if those would get them sued for Trademark infringement. Once again, this is AI plagairising, but this time it's with obviously trademarked names.
Windows App Series X Ultimate Pro for Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2
- for Workgroups.
- 21H1 x64 rollup .net framework 2.0
Marklar marklar app for all your marklar to marklar on marklar (made by marklar)
- Starvin' Marven Goes to Space, South Park episode.
  
  I miss the old south park when it had 20 episodes a season and was poorly animated lol

This is a huge hit to desktop ownership of the OS. Microsoft has officially made zero-trust a reality by doing this.
I expect there will be even more news at Ignite. Bear in mind 11 has been requiring a MS account for years and 10 is in it's final months. Pushing users to cloud only Windows allows them (and their corporate customers) complete control of the ecosystem.
- How does this have an effect in anything? It's just a remote desktop application
Hope they release it for the Xbox 1
