At present, both Google and Microsoft stand as giants in the world of technology, accompanying us in our daily lives. This is thanks to their products, services, and platforms that we use on our desktop computers and other devices such as mobile phones. However, it's essential to bear in mind that not everything they launch turns out to be successful.
We are referring to companies that have been with us for a considerable number of years, presenting us with their projects, both on a personal and corporate level. All we need to do is take a look at our desktop computers, mobile phones, or gaming consoles to find a variety of products from these two companies. Nevertheless, they have also made mistakes, particularly in projects that were worked on for a long time and ultimately ended up as real disasters, leading to their closure.
Both Google and Microsoft have faced setbacks in recent years, particularly in the realm of online applications and platforms that did not achieve the expected success. Hence, a website has recently been launched that gives us the opportunity to see the platforms that Microsoft has shuttered over the years. To provide you with a better idea, it's a website created and released to showcase a collection of products and software platforms that have already been abandoned or discontinued by Microsoft.
It's called Microsoft Graveyard, and all we need to do is access this site through our preferred browser to take a look at these products. For each service, there's a brief description, the date it was discontinued, and a link that allows us to delve deeper into the details of that platform or program.
In fact, the website we just mentioned, showcasing closed Microsoft products, is akin to a Google initiative. In truth, for some time now, the search giant has launched its own site to explore software and platforms that it had to set aside over time through final closures.
To access Killed by Google, we can do so through the link provided below in the article. Here, we'll also find projects of software and hardware that have disappeared over the years, already developed by the search giant.
Detailed information about each of these projects, along with the date of their discontinuation, can be found on both of these intriguing sites. Without a doubt, both sites mentioned above will be fascinating, as we may come across components that we weren't even aware had been discontinued.
