●● Microsoft Shuts Down Another Product, Future on the Web Grim (Updated)

Posted in Finance, Microsoft at 5:47 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

WITH PROBLEMS of debt over its horizon [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], Microsoft is unable to keep up without closing down. Here is the latest product that Microsoft cancels:

Microsoft’s adCenter Analytics has not yet left beta, and it appears that it will not ever do so. The company announced today that the program will be shut down at the end of the year.

This is far from the only product that Microsoft cancels (or unit that gets shut down). This is part of an avalanche that relates to financial trouble. No wonder Microsoft has resorted to frivolous lawsuits. █

“Pamela Jones [...] has told Infoworld that Microsoft will be the next SCO Group”

Update: Mary Jo Foley has coverage too.

Just heard from one user via e-mail, who requested anonymity. He said: “Drives me crazy that they bought DeepMetrix, pulled those products (we used the metrics software at the time), then killed them off. I have lost count of the times they have done this to us. Google Analytics, here we come!”
