Listen "203: Don't Mess With Big Encyclopedia"
Episode Synopsis
Following on from our consideration of Google's many terminated products in episode 74, we turn our attention to another graveyard this week, one with a big "Microsoft" on the sign. The company's decades-long policy of trying to supplant market leaders with Microsoft-made equivalents has left us with plenty to talk about, from phones to joysticks, questionable Windows add-ons, an actually superlative streaming service, some very brown portable media players, and plenty more.Big thanks to Killed by Microsoft for the reference material: https://killedbymicrosoft.info/Don't miss the FOSS Pod ep we mentioned about 3D Movie Maker: https://fosspod.content.town/episodes/3d-movie-maker-with-foone-turingSupport the Pod!
