Microsoft is providing a new way for iOS and Android users to access their Windows PCs today. A new Remote Desktop app is now available for both operating systems, letting you simply connect to a Windows PC and control it. While a number of third-party solutions have existed previously, including Citrix and others, Microsoft's native support is the latest in its continued push to provide apps across Windows, Android, and iOS.

Remote Desktop, as the name implies, uses the same Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) that Microsoft has used for years across its Windows desktop and server releases to connect to a PC. The app will support all Windows PCs that have Remote Desktop turned on, an optional that's configurable in Control Panel.

I love how they added the Start button back, but didn't actually address the main issue with it being gone in the first place. Looks like I'll be keeping Classic Shell installed!

It will never come back.

Love that they have released their own RD - always a fan of being integrated with a company.

See no need for the start button being on 8.1, also disappointed how the Control Panel now loads up to the desktop straight away. I like how the Metro Desktop looks - slightly more definite tiles, which looks good imo.

Will post more thoughts once I have played with it.

Just realised I now seem to sign in to windows via my Microsoft Account, not my Windows account as it always used to be.

Streamlined, I guess.

People complain about Metro on Windows 8+ a lot, but developers always find a way and its simple enough to "banish" it On my old contract at work they just deployed it with Start8.

That still doesn't show where they have lied and said they have brought it back. I've ised Windows 8 since the day it came out and noticed that I actually don't use the start screen and also noticed I rearely used the start menu on the screen. I use the search mainly to find what programs I want to open.
