    Yeah, don’t ask tech people to name things. Microsoft has like 500 different things called “Razor.”

      Their newest app to connect to virtual desktops (that I’m aware of) is named Windows App. Searching for info on that fucking thing was a pain in the ass.

          Or don’t, because that guy is busy getting access to the Fed to burn everything down.

        They should hire someone to name things there. The only worse name I can think of would be to drop the “App” and just call it “Windows”.
