Category talk:Discontinued Microsoft software

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This category was nominated for deletion, renaming or merging with another category on 2007 February 23. The result of the discussion was keep.

I was wondering if there may be a need to expand this category into a heirachy or to simplify into say a new category called End-of-life. This would allow hardware and software to be represented uniformly. -SusanRoy 06:42, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Discontinued proprietary software like Microsoft's cannot be categorized as abandonware. After discontinuing, Microsoft usually provides support for these products for a limited time, and the relating copyrights are kept and maintaned afterall for ever, despite of support. (MSfan)

I also suggest to include the following products in this list (at the appropriate section): Microsoft Vizact 2000, Microsoft Liquid Motion. (MSfan)

[edit] Microsoft Frontpage

Microsoft FrontPage was replaced by Expression Web and SharePoint Designer so I think it should go here.
