TS is part of the OS; what did you expect?

Why should this make a difference?

because the OS has a feature (multiple terminals using FSU / RDP) not a
framework to implement an application



For example, the system pagefile is a feature of the OS. Other than
configuring the sizes & locations, applications have no influence over what
the OS does with it.



By contrast, GDI is a framework that can be used by applications to provide
a GUI. In a simple application, most of the work is done by DefWindowProc,
but control over how DefWindowProc operates belongs to the application (i.e.
the OS does not create windows for the application, but does service the
mouse input for windows that the application creates)



The fact that applications written for Windows must be aware, or blissfully
ignorant, of the fact that there may be zero or many window stations,
desktops, monitors, etc. is directly analogous to applications being aware
or ignorant of the pagefile configuration.



Microsoft could have implemented a framework for TS but experiences like
GINA have shown that this is usually a bad idea.
