When is Apple going to come out with some Windows apps to run on PC like Facetime, iMessage, etc.?

There are already many messaging and video chat programs for Windows. Why would Apple want to compete in an already saturated, in my opinion, market?

1. These are user to user forums. You are not addressing Apple by posting here.

2. How would anyone on these forums know the answer to your question

3. As already stated...the Windows market is already saturated with similar software.

Considering Apple dropped Safari on the PC side I would say Apple is not looking to add compatibility to the PC side other then iTunes, and some iCloud support. But you also have to understand Microsoft is doing very little with its software to work on Mac's. Other then Office which last I heard might go away at some point. I see no reason competing companies would want to have their software work on other operating systems unless it somehow benefits them and their users significantly. Both Apple and Microsoft create their own closed garden of Apps and services. Sad to say if you want really good compatibility and cross platform syncing your going to have to pick one.

I feel you chuck machine, I have Iphone 4S, Iphone 5 Macbook 2006 Macbook Pro 2010 mid Ipad 2&3. Apple could possibly prophet from adding these apps to PC or allowing apple id users to access them from pc's maybe via Icloud...I love all my apple items but, the conventional world loves PC's so when u are @ work it would be cool access the cloud, which we can do, maybe send an imessage through there, or possibly facetime through the same portal...Just an Idea....

There's already iMessage for Windows. I have downloaded it yesterday and it works flawless. The website seems pretty new so the programm can't be that old.
