If windows phone is dead I suppose this would "just" enabled some kind of SMS messaging on a win10 desktop ?
- ocdtrekkie 9y agoMicrosoft's been pushing Always Connected PCs, which, as far as I'm aware, have SMS/MMS capabilities. But the rumored Surface Phone is also still on the horizon with Windows on ARM, the whole foldable phone thing, etc. Microsoft is not going to just give up on mobile, but they realized their existing strategy wasn't working. (I think abandoning the share they did have was a mistake, mind you, just like Google repeatedly dumping chat products.)
- ryl00 9y agoSMS is already available on Win10 desktop, but it's confusing to setup (I think it involves tying your SMS messages to Skype on Win10 mobile, at which point you can see and reply to SMS via Cortana on your desktop)
