#4I like seeing the list of services, but I wish it was called "Microsoft Graveyard" instead of "Killed by Microsoft". Some of those wouldn't be around today regardless of the controlling organization, such as Silverlight and Encarta. To me, "Killed by Microsoft" makes it sound like Microsoft chose to discontinue a product that otherwise would still be "alive" today.

#8Good list - but I don’t think Windows 10 IoT Core is dead. It’s been renamed to just Windows IoT Core, but otherwise it is still quite available.

It isn't even fair to say that some of these products are dead. For example, you can still use Microsoft Streets & Trips today, as it's from an era when you bought (rather than rented) software. It's just not getting any more updates, so its usefulness diminishes as the road network changes.

#10How did microsoft academic compare to researchgate/google scholar??
Very sad I only hear about it now...
I mean it's so absurd that people care enough to build websites like killed by microsoft and killed by google but yet no one built a alive by microsoft and alive by google. Where can I find an exhaustive and succinct/bullshit free timeline of their products launches + short, to the point description?
