Why Can't Google and MS Play Nice?

Live Writer is a blogging tool put together by Microsoft.  It really is a nice tool.

And for the most part it works really well with Blogger (which is now owned by Google).

But want to use the cool photo feature in Live Writer (which does much better image handling than Blogger) with Blogger?  Really take advantage of the better product?

No luck.  They don't allow that. (or at least they don't make it easy)

Bummer!
