Microsoft Employee comments their own new (useless) "Windows App" app with: "The Windows App promises simplicity, but simplicity is not what it delivers. It demands exclusivity, it demands privilege, it demands a work or school account—leaving the average user behind a gate that refuses to open. The app whispers of innovation but roars with inaccessibility, presenting a vital resource that feels alive yet unattainable. It is a tool that stands as both necessary and neglectful, inviting yet unwelcoming, functional yet fundamentally flawed. For the individuals and small businesses who need it most, the app becomes a wall instead of a window. If only it would let us in."

German comments on the (new) “Windows App” in the Microsoft Store: “Without MS corporate account, nothing works. The old Remote desktop App should still be available for private users.”
