I'm not Microsoft fanboy, but you don't just dismiss a new feature because there exist clunky workarounds.
I mean, you can use a manual switch to workaround the mouse/keyboard/monitor sharing as well. You can also work around it by having a monitor, keyboard, and mouse for every machine.

- dmn001 15y agoRDP has been around for over a decade and works fine. Transferring 100's of gigabytes of data over wireless is a nightmare. Keeping small amounts of data in sync by dragging and dropping every 10 minutes is a clunky workaround. To clarify, I am not dismissing the feature, it may be useful for those who are running multiple computers and monitors side by side, which I am not.
