Microsoft Graveyard
v1.0
Microsoft Graveyard entrance, the Microsoft Graveyard website collects many obsolete Microsoft products for users. Users who want to know more can enter through the website address shared by the editor.
Microsoft has cut off 16 Windows 11 features in 2023, including Cortana, WordPad, Windows Mixed Reality and more. Even for those who have followed Microsoft news for a long time, tracking Microsoft's "abandonments" over the years can be a difficult and tedious task.
But the good news is that a website called "Microsoft Graveyard" has recently been launched 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.
One-click recall allows users to retain classic memories and enjoy rich Microsoft products. In addition, each product has a description and their sometimes short, sometimes long lifespan. For example, the following is the description written on the Windows Phone tombstone: 4 years ago, Windows Phone was acquired by Microsoft. It is another mobile operating system family after Windows Mobile and Zune. At the time, it was 9 years old.
In addition to products that have already died, the graveyard also lists some products that are about to die, such as Windows 10 (although it is getting new features again), Xbox 360 Store, Visual Studio for Mac, and more.
Microsoft Graveyard is open source and you can contribute to it on GitHub. Everyone is welcome to add missing items, correct typos, and make suggestions for improvements, etc. The project also has a Threads account, where you can track updates and follow the developers to complain about Microsoft and its products.
