      I’m sure they are. But they haven’t yet. And after this, they might at least borrow a page from Apple and make sure it works first.

        I mean… They have though. It’s not in bing.com but “Microsoft copilot” is their newly rebranded Bing + AI search engine, which they’re embedding directly into desktops. They’ve been doing the AI summaries longer than Google has afaik.

          I haven’t noticed it appearing unasked in internet search results, and I never use the desktop search except for on-device queries.

          Nobody’s perfect.

          I don’t know of any MMS problem, but I also don’t generally text outside of iMessages. Maps was a cockup, and Apple owned it.

            Owned it by forcing everyone to manually install google maps, which they were already using happily? Or owned it by giving a pr spin after the fact? Group messaging via mms still doesn’t work correctly due to iMessage.

              Owned up to the mistake, then suggested alternatives while they were finishing Maps, which had been rushed due to the launch of Android and Jobs not wanting a competitor’s CEO sitting on Apple’s board.

              I have no idea what you’re on about messaging. I can use it just fine.
