You may have heard of the Killed by Google project, a site where you can find all the apps, products, services, and other things Google produced that have since disappeared. Microsoft, another technology giant (recently valued at over $3 trillion), also has many products that are no longer supported. Now, you can track all of them on a new unofficial website called Microsoft Graveyard, which was "inspired and heavily influenced" by the Killed By Google project and its Microsoft counterpart.
The Microsoft Graveyard website, created by Victor Frye and launched earlier this week, offers an open source collection of late Microsoft software and hardware. According to the developers, the site was "a passion project as we lovingly used many of these products before their untimely demise". These products include Windows Phone, Zune, Bob (no one likes this one), Surface Duo, Cortana, and more.
Visitors to Microsoft Graveyard can click on items to get more information from Wikipedia or other websites. 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 died, the cemetery 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, etc.
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.
