    The only possible way Microsoft can be this bad at naming things is if they are actively doing it on purpose.

      How can they expect regular people to remember what the Windows app does? It would seriously be better to pick a word at random than to overload the meaning of “Windows” again.

      Here are some way better names right off the top of my head:

      • Microsoft micro/do

        Telefenestra

        Is that where you defenestrate somebody remotely?

    And I thought developers were bad at naming.

    The Microsoft school of naming things is really showing their ways

      Developers are usually not bad at naming. Marketing on the other hand…

    Much more interesting is the part about Relayed RDP Shortpath. With STUN and TURN and even a relay it sounds like this will enable some usecases similar to TeamViewer
