Power Automate Desktop, opinions of others

Few days after the announcement of Power Automate Desktop for Windows 10 users (official link here) a famous Italian website focused on IT released a brief news about it (link here).

Microsoft is a big name so it is normal that something regarding Windows 10 made the news also inside this site (for example they published also the Microsoft-Bethesda agreement) but I was more interested in the comments.

First some numbers, the article contains 17 comments, I checked the recent news and except an article about Tesla Cybertruck (with 35 comments), the Power Automate Desktop one was the most commented (usually there are between 6 and 10 comments in other news).

This is very good in my opinion, people read the news and after wanted to discuss it, but what they are talking about?

A couple of comments are about the comparison to Mac (Apple Script is mentioned and the fact this is is coming to Windows years later), no surprises here, I also mentioned this in my previous post.

A user asked if can save something to PDF, rename it and after move it to a specific folder, another user promptly replied that is possible, that he is also checking the software and it looks useful.

Another user wrote that he downloaded the software, that is complex (meaning that you can do many things) and reported that maybe for his daily activities is not useful but he would like to check some demos.

Another comment was that in the download page there is the "Download now" option and "Buy" option, this made him confused.

A couple of users (in order to explain to others) compared Power Automate Desktop to IFTTT or to a Macro system.

Last comment was a bit more technical, the software was always intended as Business oriented, Powershell is also available for some automations under Windows.

In the end was good to see how this kind of product is received to a bigger audience, most of the comments were positive and they confirm my initial thought, having Power Automate Desktop included inside Windows 10 can be very beneficial.
