    This really doesn’t hit quite as hard. Googles page is just 53 variants of hangouts that each lasted less than 2 years. This is “after 18 years and a full decade of phase out, teams replaced Skype”.

    Or “we rebranded calendar as outlook after 18 years so technically it’s dead but there is a compatible replacement available for free” vs “we shut down this service because we couldn’t find a way to shove ads in it”

      There’s plenty of great stuff in there; I especially recommend filtering for dead hardware.

      But killing MSN Messenger for Skype is a much greater crime against Humanity than any of Google’s, except maybe for Google Reader.
