    <p>Regarding the Amazon Echo, you can name one Alexa and one Echo so you don’t activate both.</p>

    <p>Comparing Apple to Blackberry because of iMessage …&nbsp;its a forceful bridge … wishful thinking? Why on earth?</p>
    <p>But I agree that they should support iMessage / SMS on Windows. Its not really a feature that makes people switch platforms anyway. They are just hurting their users that opt for another PC platform by not doing so.</p>
    <p>A bit like when MS did not support the iPhone or iPad with Office</p>

    <p>Blackberry? &nbsp;I love how a site dedicate to news about Microsoft can’t help themselves and must talk about Apple to generate page clicks.&nbsp;</p>
