benefit from it too.
No it is not. No group chats and no pictures? Useless.
Makes no sense considering WhatsApp finally allowed their client on
Windows with those functions enabled. I guess Apple doesn't want to
let go of the most important features of Messages lest people deciding
they don't need an iPhone or iPad anymore.

What makes you think Apple is to blame rather than Microsoft?

It's a simple question.
Let's imagine how that conversation went...
Microsoft: "We'd like to integrate your iMessages into our Phone Link
app so people who own iPhones and Windows computers will have another
way to communicate with people."
Apple: "We thought you'd never ask! Here, take the whole thing. We insist!"
Microsoft: "No thanks. We were actually thinking of making it
severely crippled by removing functionality such as group chats, MMS,
etc. You know, we don't really want people to use it. After all, we
want them to start using the Windows Phone again."
If you really think Microsoft wanted a severely crippled Messages
integration then everything Arlen says about you is really true...

The iKooks will _never_ (can't ever) understand how Apple works.
You do. They don't. They can't. They won't.

That was well done. Hilarious. And apropos. To the point exactly.

Took you long enough to realize I do own basic adult cognitive
