I was ready to pay for a remote desktop app, but Windows 11 already ships one for free

Microsoft's Windows 11 operating system comes with a range of useful features that can aid productivity and troubleshooting. One such feature is a remote desktop app that is included with the OS, which could save users from having to pay for a third-party utility.

According to XDA Developers, Microsoft has included various tools in Windows 11 that can help with everyday tasks, and some of these tools can replace paid utilities.

Microsoft is also working on improving the quality of drivers in Windows 11 through its Driver Quality Initiative (DQI), with Intel already implementing some of these changes in its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers, as reported by TechRadar.

  • Orchestrator should generate deterministic branch names and treat worktrees as disposable cattle.
