Microsoft Graveyard is an open-source website that allows users to reminisce and learn about discontinued Microsoft products. Created by a group of developers and tech enthusiasts, the site is inspired by a similar website called Killed by Google. The Microsoft Graveyard features a chronological list of software and hardware products that Microsoft has launched and later abandoned.The website includes products like MSN Messenger, Kinect, Windows Phone, Zune, Cortana, and Clippy, among others. Each entry provides a brief description and links to further details, often to Wikipedia pages. The site aims to serve as an unofficial archive for Microsoft's retired products, created out of the group's passion for these products.
Visitors to the Microsoft Graveyard may notice that some entries are dated in the future and depicted with coffin icons. These represent products that will soon join the list of discontinued Microsoft products. These future additions include Windows 10, the Xbox 360 Store, and more.
If interested, users can contribute to the website's development and maintenance as it is an open-source project on GitHub. They can also follow the project's updates on Threads. Microsoft Graveyard offers a humorous and nostalgic way for individuals to explore the history of Microsoft's less successful endeavors and rediscover products they may have used in the past.
