This got me thinking that I don't really know what products Microsoft even sells anymore. I know they have Windows and Office of course, but do they even still sell Windows, or is it all ad-driven revenue now? And of course they have bing.com, which is ad-driven. And Xbox, though that itself has gone through a similiar series of confusing names (Xbox 360 is Xbox 2 and Xbox One is Xbox 3?!).

I found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Live, which has a list of various online products that have been renamed or killed off. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bing_Shopping is the most ridiculous one, which has gone through every possible name except for "MSDOS Shopping". I had no idea it even existed.
