Google sure, but Microsoft? The company that kept the Zune service alive for 4 years after the product was EOL and with a userbase likely measured in the hundreds of thousands?

The company who STILL supports 16-bit apps?

Ya... I would hardly say MS is known for killing stuff early - more like they've spent years being ridiculed for carrying baggage forward for decades longer than anyone else.

MS might be bad at a lot of things, but I'd hardly say they're known for "burning products with little notice".
