I didn't know big tech companies were still capable of making GUI's that look like this.
To me it looks very much like mRemoteNG (https://mremoteng.org/). Is this just because the same WinForms libraries were used or is there some meat to this?

I can't tell if you think it's a good thing or not. I'm personally impressed; I bet it hardly uses any memory!

#43I'm sorry if this sounds completely ridiculous to some people, but what do people use RDP/Windows server for in 2021? Given that ASP/Dotnet is portable to linux, what are people building that isn't better deployed to linux? It can't just be the legacy use-case, can it?
Remote browser isolation for companies that need Microsoft.

The answer is one (or most likely all of) these: active directory, sharepoint, exchange

.NET Core might be portable, however it is a tiny subset of what .NET Framework is capable of.
Additionally lots of enterprise shops, despite what HN crowd thinks, are mostly on Microsoft stacks, so that .NET application is going to connect to other APIs and stuff not available on GNU/Linux.
Then, many companies use VMs as desktops for contractors, you are just not allowed to plug anything on their network, so you are using Visual Studio via RDP/Citrix.
As an example, in life sciences most of the laboratory hardware only has APIs available via COM/.NET Framework.

Because not everyone is on the latest fashion.

#50> IAP Desktop is a Windows application that allows you to manage multiple Remote Desktop and SSH connections to VM instances that run on Google Cloud.
Is there a Linux client too?
