Can't believe they don't have proofreaders at ars technicha. Reading is fundamental ๐Ÿ˜˜

It's not a Windows app, it's an app for macOS, IOS, and Android.

If you would read the article you would know that the title is perfectly correct, as currently it's only available to Win, other platforms are just planned.

It's an RDP client you can connect to pcs on the network or vms on azure
