    Let me guess? CLOUD VMS? “Emulation” tries the most generic app: Doesnt work. Office apps will be the only functioning apps.

    It’s really more like Remote Desktop+. It has some additional “features” (slight retch) on top of traditional Remote Desktop features.

    Let’s wait and see if it’s actually more secure than traditional Remote Desktop.

    (and I’d still rather use Wine)

      Did they invent X11 Forwarding over the network?

        X11 can render individual windows (Xclients) through the network on another Xserver since decades. With XPRA you can even buffer them, to move them from one Xserver to another or make sure they survive network disconnect. It’s very cool, but not widely used.

          Unlike X11, Wayland was never intended to be network transparent. As others say, solutions like waypipe and more tradionally RDP and VNC exist.

            Exactly. We won’t. We’ll get specialized video stream over network. I’m not happy about this regression. I understand that was a willing sacrifice to achieve better local performance, but I’m not sure it was worth it.

          I doubt it’s nearly as secure as OpenSSH though.

        No, it’s just remote. Remote desktop is now also called Windows, also the operating system you are connecting to is called Windows.

        Gnome has relatively good rdp support, so with this you could use Windows (the app) on Windows (the os) to connect to you Linux machine running Gnome.

        It seems deliberately confusing naming is working as expected, Microsoft marketing team should get extra raise.

            Doesn’t everyone call it MS SQL anyway?

    I hope its so they can finally end the legacy support for all the win98 software and end all “settings is actually a folder” non-sense.
