Microsoft Cemetery
v1.0
Entrance to the Microsoft Cemetery. Recently, in order to commemorate those products that were "buried", Microsoft launched the Microsoft Cemetery website. Users can enter through the address provided on this site to see these abandoned products, which can satisfy users' memory needs. What's the mood?
The "Microsoft Graveyard" website is designed to help users record all products that have been axed by Microsoft, as well as products that are about to "end their lives." Victor Frye, the developer of the website, said that he was inspired by the "Killed by Google" project and hoped to build a similar platform to record historical information about Microsoft products.
The website lists many products "buried" by Microsoft, such as Windows Phone, Xbox 360, Internet Explorer, Kinect, etc. Each entry is accompanied by a brief introduction, including the product's features, release date and longevity, for example: "Cortana, a virtual assistant that performed tasks using the Bing search engine, was 'buried' by Microsoft 5 months ago at the age of 9 ”
The website also lists Microsoft products that are about to be eliminated, but users need to find them in the entire list by themselves, and there is no separate classification.
The project is open source, and netizens can contribute more information about obsolete products, make suggestions for improvements, etc. through GitHub. It is worth mentioning that Microsoft also has a dedicated page listing products that have stopped development.
