I used it on my Chromebook to make a Windows Virtual Machine so I could take a test that required either Windows or Macs. Worked perfectly for me, and plan to use it a lot in the future. Good work developers.

I had to task with GCP Lab - and was suggested using Incognito mode on Chrome for avoiding account mismatch -- Though, Incognito mode no allows extension. It DOES work in normal mode -- seems it no accept Input, right? but when you click on RDP VM Instance it fills up asking for the RDP password. As for me, this app just makes me skip some steps from Windows built-in Remote Desktop app, so I do no strictly need it. *** UPDATE *** It may happen that some VM instances have certificate issues so that Windows RemoteDC can't access, but this App could. So now it's a Utility that may always solve such problems, even if WRDC runs faster for me anyway. Thanks
