killed-by-microsoft VS azurelinux

> P.S. Do we make "jokes" about Microsoft killing things off like we do with Google?

Well someone went ahead and made https://killedbymicrosoft.info/

There is https://killedbymicrosoft.info/, though it seems to be missing a lot of older examples like MSN Explorer. They also don't seem to include product renames like the Google one does.

You might want to check https://killedbymicrosoft.info/

Without a source mentioned, I assume you refer to this[1]?

A comparison shows most products that should be dead are on that list.

G, on the other hand, has products actively used and loved by users.

> They have a tendency to simply discard products left and right.

I guess this site could be of interest to some, to have a look at some of the products: https://killedby.tech/

Google has a separate site here as well: https://killedbygoogle.com/

Microsoft also has a site like that: https://killedbymicrosoft.info/

I tried looking up one for Amazon or AWS projects, but only unrelated news articles came up.

I don't really have a horse in the race, though, since all three of the big platforms (and others like Oracle Cloud) are outside of my price point and all my personal projects run on smaller simple VPS providers. From what I can tell, there is not a single large corporation out there with the commitment to never kill a product of theirs and support everything in perpetuity.

Someone made https://killedbymicrosoft.info/

They're even already producing their own Linux distribution, CBL-Mariner, https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux

This became even more interesting as Microsoft started to open source core technology such as Powershell, the DotNET platform, their internal Linux distribution, and much more. All this hosting on GitHub also made sense acquisition wise.

Quite a few servers and network switches, actually.

Likely a recognisable ‘Windows’ GUI on-top of CBL-Mariner

Nothing new. For several years they already developed and maintained CBL-Mariner (Common Build Linux) https://github.com/microsoft/CBL-Mariner Which od a base for Azure Linux and other projects.
