feels like a bit of a strawman.

arguing that you can't use the client without the license for the server... on the same machine, is silly. There's tons of utility with the client even if you don't have the server license locally, especially if you ever use the Remote Desktop Client remotely.

Yeah, read what I am commenting on: Microsoft is letting you remove it. Seems like it is a handy item, certainly not as annoying as an ad or anything. And I also am commenting on how it is so useful, why do they ban the server from their home product?

This just seems like a really weird item to say: finally! you can remove the RDP client! Just like nobody ever asked for!
