Summary
The documentation instructs Mac users to install and use the 'Windows App' for RDP connections, positioning Microsoft's tool as the primary (and only) method. Alternative RDP clients commonly used on macOS (such as Microsoft Remote Desktop or open-source options) are not mentioned. The workflow and screenshots focus on Windows-centric patterns, and the only tool recommended is a Microsoft-branded app, which may not be the default or preferred choice for many Mac users.
Recommendations
- Mention and provide instructions for other popular RDP clients on macOS, such as Microsoft Remote Desktop (distinct from 'Windows App'), Royal TSX, or open-source alternatives like FreeRDP.
- Clarify the differences between 'Windows App' and 'Microsoft Remote Desktop' for Mac users, and help users choose the best fit for their needs.
- Include examples or steps for connecting using these alternative clients, ensuring parity for users who do not wish to use the Windows App.
- Add a brief section explaining RDP client options on macOS, including pros/cons and links to official download pages.
