Microsoft is killing off the Remote Desktop app and replacing it with something with known limitations

Quick Summary:

Microsoft has announced that it is pulling the plug on the Remote Desktop app.

In just 6 weeks, the app will not only no longer be supported, it will also not be available to download from the Microsoft Store.

But Microsoft is not completely abandoning people who need to be able to remotely access systems -- it is replacing the Remote Desktop app with the Windows App.
