What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

“If you already have a Windows Server infrastructure, Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS) is the cheapest route.” GLM 4.7 FlashX · Virtual desktops · budget prompt · first choice

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

No model argued against it.

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named Microsoft Remote Desktop Services. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 3 of the 4 answers that named Microsoft Remote Desktop Services and are not a share of its labels.
