There’s actually way less products than I thought would be on there.
It's just because nobody has contributed to that site. Microsoft has put two bullets in the back of the head of hundreds of products. Here's a different list: https://www.versionmuseum.com/history-of/discontinued-micros...
Microsoft Teams Progressive Web App https://www.versionmuseum.com/history-of/discontinued-micros...
And also, it list things that were consolidated into other apps, I don't know you could say it was killed off, but more moved. (such as Microsoft groups, is just a part of outlook now, and not a standalone app)

I didn't know about GitHub code spaces with Jupyter support.

Ironically, Windows Phones clients never fully supported Microsoft's enterprise line -- specifically, the 'Outlook' app did not support shared calendards or even multiple calendars associated with one account. Digging into the application revealed that it re-used an open-source syncing library instead of being a Microsoft-built implementation! Exchange support was the bulk of the appeal for the platform for me, and l…
