Video watching is buggy to say the least, the newer client is certainly better for that. The other Microsoft branded rdp client is version 10! High quality video streaming they allude to in the specifications is generally so buggy you'll get about 2 seconds before it hangs. I'm not rightly sure why anyone would stick with this version.
This is pretty handy for remotely managing my desktop pc. Recently I've noticed that the black bar below my keyboard (AOSP A11 Gestural Navigation, GBoard) disappears during a session and I can't tap return or space unless I contact the top of those keys…and it slows me down a bit. But this works way better (more responsive, smoother) than TeamViewer or Splashtop. And it's already part of my W10 Pro deployment. So no extra work is needed to use it. And it works with my existing Live ID. Kudos!
Changing my previous review to a single star. The official Microsoft RDP app used to be the best of the free RDP clients for Android, but there is a critical bug that has remained unfixed for over a year. When using a physical keyboard - USB / Bluetooth / etc - the right shift key sticks. Unless you retrain yourself to only use the left shift key, doing any work is difficult and entering passwords is impossible. If you need a RDP client, then don't use the official Microsoft one, it will just frustrate you and lock your account out.
