ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Microsoft RPC

Okay, let's try and explain what Microsoft RPC is like we would to a five-year-old.

Microsoft RPC stands for Microsoft Remote Procedure Call. When you use a computer, you can run programs on your own computer. But sometimes, you need to use programs on other computers too. This is where RPC comes in. RPC helps your computer talk to other computers so you can use their programs like they were on your own computer.

It's like if you wanted to play with someone else's toys, but they were in their house. You would need to call them and ask if you could come over and play with their toys. This is similar to how RPC works. Your computer sends a message to the other computer, asking if it can use one of its programs.

RPC is like a messenger that takes the message from your computer to the other computer. Once the message gets there, the other computer sends back a response.

Now, RPC is important because it makes it easier for your computer to talk to other computers. RPC is like a phone that connects you to other people. It helps you communicate and work together.

I hope that helps explain what Microsoft RPC is like we would to a five-year-old!
