Lol, they're just renaming Remote Desktop to Windows.

So I can use Windows to connect to Windows, and run my Windows.

Truly a moment of marketing brilliance.

They love to do this. 2 years ago they renamed Office (the online, browser based version) to Microsoft 365 https://www.computerworld.com/article/1614302/office-to-be-rebranded-microsoft-365.html

They can present the "new" apps to shareholders
