On my windows phone 7 I was able to seamlessly message my friend via text or Skype or Facebook message, all in the same conversation thread, which was searchable. and when going on his page see his Facebook and twitter updates in one page.
From Wikipedia:
> Windows Phone 7's messaging system is organized into "threads". This allows a conversation with a person to be held through multiple platforms (such as Windows Live Messenger, Facebook messaging, or SMS within a single thread, dynamically switching between services depending on availability

- kkarakk 10y agotoo bad windows apps required a comprehensive bottom to top knowledge of windows stuff. for example - built an android app while learning java in school. didn't know what everything did but the outcome was the same as promised in the tutorial meanwhile in the windows 7 app tutorials, phrases like "do this as you would do in wcf so & so and it should work" were thrown about leading to an endless nesting doll structure of learning what the definitions meant- that led to 4 weeks of on again off again learning before i made a copy of my android app. the tutorials improved later but i'd given up on windows app development by then, the promised free support for windows app developers never materialised in my country great platform decisions, poor app developer support and shitty ecosystem(still haven't considered developing for the windows 10 appstore because of this reason).
