Creating a Microsoft account is as easy as “next next done”, where’s the fun in that?.
Cortana was great on Windows Phone (mostly because I love Jen Taylor’s voice), but they kept taking away features and was basically useless on the desktop which, imho, has no use for an assistant.
Reinstalling Windows hasn’t been fun since Windows 7. The OS already has most drivers and automatically downloads everything else, I miss skimming through pages of drivers to find the correct one.
Nice to have, but ultimately unenforceable and irritating when half baked.
You’d end up with either a basic standard everyone supports and then extends in their own proprietary ways, limiting interoperability to SMS like content (at which point just use SMS, they’re included in every phone plan), or with multiple apps built on top of the same protocol (which IMHO would be better).
That said, don’t we already have the protocol in the form of XMPP? I remember people trying to make XMPP compatibility a big selling point for Skype almost a decade ago, and cross-chat compatibility between Skype, WL Messenger and one of the infinite Google chat services. No idea how that ended up.
Perhaps something like E2EE XMPP, if that is a thing?
I think they mean “interoperability“.

How are they mutually exclusive? Maybe you’re even more racist because you start to discriminate based on the feet colour 🦶🏻🦶🏾
