And that means Microsoft is the problem, not the third party chat service!

After nearly 24 years we have come full circle: Here is an episode of Silicon Spin featuring John C Dvorak (yes that John C Dvorak) from ZDTV (yes that ZDTV) discussing the issue. I remember seeing this live when I was in elementary school lol

Wonder what happened to all these 'pundits' :)
[EDIT]: LOL @ 5:50 "Coming up on Silicon Spin, streaming is free but how long will THAT last?!"

Dvorak is at least still around doing "stuff". I have never listened to his podcast.

Did you guys read the article? It just transmits messages the same way your car would when connected to Bluetooth.

Sure, Windows is using an API designed for cars rather than reverse engineering the protocol.
It's still true that Apple do not want iMessage on competitor platforms. There's a non-zero chance they lock down this API further in response.
And Microsoft has been on the other side of this with third party skype users, too.
