Edit: Sorry if the headline is misleading.

    Title misleading.

    The MS store app is being replaced with a different store app.

    Remote Desktop isn’t going away.

    Just did that at my workplace, and the Windows App (at least for MacOS), was just all around shittier. It removed all of the previously setup VMs and standalone desktops staff would remote into for certain programs not compatible in an Apple environment, and then it killed the shared folder connection between devices, so for a short while there, we had to use OneDrive as a “quick and dirty” workaround. Finally got it working, but it took the full removal of the Windows App, including digging into every Library folder to delete any straggler files. Oh and it also would forget the reconnected remote sessions we’d set up, so that every time you closed it, you’d need to recreate the remote session.

    Can you tell I am pissed? Least it was a one time sitch so far, but damn.

    As long as they keep the same protocol (and therefore third-party clients continue to work), I don’t care if they replace the current first-party client with a new dumpster fire.
