Microsoft Remote Desktop app grows up

The most stable release of Microsoft Remote Desktop so far

I kept waiting for ‘the fall’ for a week.

That where Microsoft Remote Desktop – the Windows Store app, not the built-in applet – just freezes up. Requiring a user to shut down all running instances of RD.

Yes, I know: you don’t lose any data running on the remote systems. However, the distraction rankles.

Until this latest rev of the app.

Apart from the much better, and thankfully “un-flat” icon, the applet just works.

It starts up perceptively faster, and, so far hasn’t locked up or failed.

I am able to run multiple instances of local HD videos from several systems concurrently without the applet freezing up.

This is a definite improvement.

It is now almost as good, and hopefully, as stable as the very rock solid MacOS version of Remote Desktop which hasn’t failed ever!

Good job, Redmondians!
