According to the news on March 28 on this website, as we all know, Microsoft, as a large company with many businesses, often shuts down some services, products and equipment. It is also joked by netizens that there is a special "machete Department".
So, how many projects has Microsoft cut down over the years since its establishment? A magical website called "killed by Microsoft" gives you the answer.
The website has only one page, which is provided with real-time updates by many GitHub users. It lists almost all the projects cut down by Microsoft, including apps, services, hardware, etc.
According to the inventory, Microsoft cut a total of 70 projects, including 31 apps, 29 services and 7 kinds of hardware. Each project lists the start and end times, as well as a brief introduction. Users can also click on the title and jump to Wikipedia to see more information.
For example, windows phone starts in 2010 and ends in 2019. It is the mobile operating system of Microsoft's smartphone and serves as a replacement successor to Windows Mobile and Zune.
According to the website, the project comes from Cody Ogden's killed by Google project, which takes stock of 264 projects cut by Google in those years.
