Let his daughter and baby momma live in poverty while he was a multimillionaire.

@momurda this is old news, essentially as soon as he started to make any money he dumped his wife and kid.

He was a massive PoS.

The article is from his daughter. I think she meant it to say something else other than that. I agree with you though, what an ass. He even denied the child was his for years.

To be fair, they already have lots of products that do RDP, including server. It's more like they're removing functionality from one product and selling the same thing in a different/additional one.

THis is a bit different. This is for making Windows 10 into a tiny RDS server. It's actually a really cool licensing option. People have been BEGGING for this for years as there are both technical and practical reasons why it is needed.
