That's why I specified a "well working" remote desktop app.

IIRC the Apple Vision's RDP is limited to a single remote monitor, at least it certainly was at launch and from googling around it seems like that's still the case which is just absurd.

You have the power to place an infinite amount of windows anywhere in 3D space but Apple only lets you place a single monitor somewhere.

Compare that to the $500 Quest 3 which supports triple monitors OOTB (on Windows or MacOS) and has third party apps that can upgrade that to whatever your headset / PC can handle.

But for either headset to be an actually true, all day, monitor replacement, they need to get a lot smaller and lighter. They're simply too hot and heavy for 8 + hours usage right now.
