So properly-speaking, this probably a complaint about the service and not the client app, but the entire eco-system is failing me in small ways. Now, I'm sure there really IS such a way, but the internet is not my friend in helping me find it. Since there are some operations that cannot be performed via RDP - attaching to a VPN being one of them - it would be nice if I could just leave the PC logged in and operate it via Remote Desktop at the same time.
This works reasonable well except that the Remote Desktop Service on the PC requires that I can only be logged in either via the Remote Desktop app OR the PC itself. I don't want to keep changing physical keyboards, so despite the fact that the two physical machines are next to eachother beneath my desk, I use remote desktop to view and operate the PC while working on the Mac. You can check out the new store by heading over to Keep in mind that the store is still under construction, to say the least.I have a specific usage case - I work in a multiplatform environment in which I work on the Mac and on the PC. In fact, Microsoft is starting to list Xbox apps, in addition to apps for Windows, iOS, and Android. Microsoft is still working on the new Microsoft Store website, which is expected to be a central source for apps. With Microsoft concentrating its energies on cross platform development, as well as Windows/Windows Phone synergies when it comes to apps, having a single source of information/download links for all these various apps will come in handy indeed. It makes no sense for Microsoft to offer 3rd party app links to rival platforms, unless of course it’s for Microsoft’s own like Skype. Clearly, Microsoft will likely offer 3rd part app links to both Windows and Windows Phone, rather than iOS and Android. For 3rd party apps, you can now just search on the Microsoft Store website, and be given an overview page of the app, for example MetroTube (see image below). Clicking on one of the choices takes you to the appropriate download page, say on Google Play or the Windows Phone app store. As you can see, for a Microsoft app, you’re given a choice of platforms.
