#4Even though I'm well aware of HN's guideline against shallow dismissals, I still can't help but say it: Worst. Naming choice. Ever. Searching for documentation or assistance relating to "Windows App" will be effectively impossible.

#5From the same branding team that brought you Xbox One and ASP.NET, it's Windows App!

#6Is there a particular reason why Microsoft is so terrible at naming things? What’s wrong with “Remote Desktop”?

#7Does anyone know the model of internal communications which allows such "interesting" decisions to arise in large corporations over time?

That’s not even close. Microsoft churns out incredibly awful names. The “Defender” family is probably the most egregious example today.
I’m sure the enterprise version will be Azure Windows 365 App for Business E3. But it won’t be compatible with one of the 4 hosted windows desktop solutions that Microsoft ships lol, but nobody will be sure of which one!

Even in this release they use the word "app" with a different meaning. I would love to know how they arrived at this name.
