1. Zune

Failed Microsoft Products - Microsoft Zune — Failed Microsoft Products – Microsoft Zune

To compete with the Apple iPod, Microsoft launched a new brand of digital media products called Zune. The Microsoft Zune was launched in November 2006, which included portable media players, media player software that was specifically designed for Windows PCs, and a unique music subscription service, which was named Zune Music Pass.

However, the brand did not fare well in the industry, to the extent that it took two years for them to sell 2 million units. It was shut down due to a lack of profitability in June 2012.

2. Kin

Failed Microsoft Products - Microsoft Kin — Failed Microsoft Products – Microsoft Kin

While the digital market was going crazy over the release of various kinds of mobile phones, Microsoft, in its attempt to address the contemporary tech trends, launched two mobile phones that were named Kin One and Kin Two.

Despite all the perks that they boasted about the Kin phones, they did not support games and apps that could be downloaded. This was a very bad setback in contrast to the iPhones that were having a breakthrough in the history of mobile phones through the introduction of their App Store in 2008. Unsurprisingly, Microsoft had to stop selling its Kin due to very poor sales, which are rumoured to be less than 10,000 units.

3. Windows ME

Failed Microsoft Products - Windows Millennium — Failed Microsoft Products – Windows Millennium

It was released as a special millennium edition operating system after Windows 98 in September 2000. Windows Millennium is deemed to be one of the worst OS that Microsoft ever launched. It had severe crashing issues and faced incompatibility with various popular applications that functioned well on Windows 98. Microsoft had to roll back the OS within one year of its release.

4. Microsoft Bob

Failed Microsoft Products - Microsoft Bob — Failed Microsoft Products – Microsoft Bob

It was launched in 1995 as a graphical user interface that was meant for Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. The intention was to provide a more nuanced user interface for the users. However, the product did not run well in the market. They were largely criticised for the price, and Microsoft had to roll it back by 1996.

5. Microsoft Portrait

Failed Microsoft Products - Microsoft Portrait — Failed Microsoft Products – Microsoft Portrait

Microsoft Portrait was a video conferencing platform developed by Microsoft during the 1990s. Low internet consumption was the USP of this platform that came way before Skype and FaceTime. However, the product was called back and considered one of the worst Microsoft products. It is an irony to note that the once-flop idea is a billion-dollar industry now.

6. Microsoft Lumia Smartphones

Failed Microsoft Products - Microsoft Lumia — Failed Microsoft Products – Microsoft Lumia

Microsoft acquired Nokia for $7 billion in 2014, which gave them ownership of the Lumia smartphones. It was speculated that the Lumia line of smartphones would be a flagship phone that would run on Windows software. However, they soon became unpopular due to their bad features and lack of competitiveness with respect to the rival phones. By 2017, their quarterly revenue dropped to $5 million.

7. MSN

Failed Microsoft Products - MSN — Failed Microsoft Products – MSN

MSN was launched in 1999 to be a significant competitor in the instant messaging software market. It had more than 330 million active users every month during its zenith. However, Microsoft had to discontinue MSN due to the dispute between the TOM company that maintained MSN from China and Skype. The product was discontinued in 2014.

8. MSN TV

Failed Microsoft Products - MSN TV — Failed Microsoft Products – MSN TV

MSN TV was launched by Microsoft after it bought WebTV Networks in 1995. It used a television for display and was supported by online services. It was a perfect alternative for people who were looking for a computer with internet access. However, they had to discontinue this product over controversies and inconsistencies by 2013.

9. Microsoft Surface RT

Failed Microsoft Products - Microsoft Surface RT — Failed Microsoft Products – Microsoft Surface RT

Microsoft entered into tablet business in the year 2012, and that was when it launched Surface RT and Surface Pro into the market. Although the Surface Pro was a successful product, Surface RT did not fare well. It was basically because of the fact that apps had to be written specifically for Surface RT to be more consumer-friendly. This confused consumers and dismayed app creators. Microsoft bailed on Surface RT in 2013, which led to the biggest sell-off of Microsoft’s shares after 200,9, which wiped out over $34 billion in market value.

10. Windows 8

Microsoft Failed Products - Windows 8 — Microsoft Failed Products – Windows 8

Windows 8, which was released in 2012, was an attempt by Microsoft to gain stronger market dominance in the field of personal computers as they were growing more insignificant with the popularity of tablets and smartphones.

Amongst other features, one of the most highlighted features was its new interface that featured touch-friendly tiles. However, the users and critics did not receive it well. They removed the start menu, which was introduced with Windows 95 and received widespread criticism for it.

Some of the critics even called this operating system a “Colossal blunder”. People found it difficult to work with this OS, especially while not using the touchscreen facilities. Satya Nadella, the CEO of Microsoft at that time, even admitted that there were things that went wrong in the OS. Through the introduction of Windows 10 and the start menu with it, Microsoft tried to mitigate the harm done to its reputation that Windows 8 caused.

11. Windows Vista

After launching Microsoft’s popular operating system Windows XP, they launched Windows Vista in November 2006. However, it became another flop just like Windows ME. It had lots of glitches and was slow. Apart from that, its hardware and software had incompatibility issues, which were in addition to high prices. The security issues and other incapabilities further eroded its reputation, which made this OS end up like another black spot in the history of Microsoft.

12. Microsoft Office Assistant (Clippy)

Microsoft Failed Products - Clippy — Microsoft Failures – Clippy

Long before the launch of the Amazon Assistant named Alexa, Microsoft launched its office assistant named Clippy in the year 1997 as an added service to the updated version of Office 97 till 2003.

Apart from the newly born technology, it failed to gain recognition from users, and in the end, Microsoft had to end it with the launch of Office XP. With the introduction of new technology, we can assume it to be favoured by some; however, it is considered a failed product on a larger scale.

Clippy was developed as an office assistant; however, there was no user data collection done by Clippy. Due to this, Clippy failed to gain the trust of people and their acknowledgment. There was a great gap in user interaction with Clippy due to a lack of knowledge of Artificial Intelligence.‌‌

13. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

Microsoft Failed Products - Internet Explorer 6 — Microsoft Failed Products – Internet Explorer 6

Undoubtedly, the term “Internet Explorer 6” is an acknowledged term. However, when the talk is about loyal users, Internet Explorer 6 has earned. The answer can be avoided because of its failure. Internet Explorer 6 was introduced in the year 2001 along with the launch of Windows XP.

It was launched to provide a safe and free experience of web surfing. However, it failed to gain users and was replaced with newly launched services termed Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.

Microsoft failed to follow the guidelines provided by the World Wide Web Consortium, causing different visualizations of web pages on Internet Explorer than in their original form. They also failed to focus and improve the services given by Internet Explorer, hence losing the trust of users. The security provided by Internet Explorer was also not up to mark.‌ and is considered one of Microsoft notable failures.

14. Microsoft Groove Music

Microsoft Failed Products - Groove Music — Microsoft Failed Products – Groove Music

Just like the popular music platforms available now, such as Spotify and Amazon Music Unlimited, Microsoft had also launched its in-house music platform, Groove Music, launched in 2012 and was discontinued in the year 2017. Grove Music was earlier made as an additional service given to monthly music pass holders of Zune.

After the fall of Zune, Groove was tagged as Xbox Music and given as an additional service to Xbox users. In 2015, Groove Music was renamed to its original tag and was provided as an unlimited music streaming platform at its original price. Groove Music was one of the complete platforms due to its services and compatibility with different devices.

The moves taken by Microsoft were quite lagging as the competition in the same field was too stiff to catch up. Even though Groove was a complete service, there was nothing eye-catching about it to attract users to it.‌‌

15. TerraServer

Microsoft Failed Products - TerraServer — Microsoft Failure List – TerraServer

Google Maps is the source of finding unknown locations easily. Long before Google even gave rise to its idea, Microsoft launched a satellite-provided image of Earth. TerraServer was launched in 1997 and discontinued in 1999.

At that time, TerraServer was the first program capable of showing neighbourhood houses with detailed information. It was the first of the best technologies invented by Microsoft. TerraServer did manage to catch the attention of the audience, but failed to survive the interest.

Most of the feedback received by TerraServer was from local users commenting on the images of their houses and neighbourhood. They failed to provide the aim behind creating such a great innovation, as was later done by Google Maps.‌‌

16. Microsoft Band

Microsoft Failed Products - Microsoft Band — Microsoft Failures – Microsoft Band

Recently, there has been a growing trend of smartwatches seen by people of all ages. Years back in the trend, Microsoft launched its wearable band consisting of multiple inbuilt Technologies such as fitness tracker features, health-oriented capabilities, compatibility with different devices, etc. The band was launched in 2014 and discontinued in 2016. With the closure of the band, Microsoft gave refunds to its lifelong customers.

Even though the band was launched with the best technology, it was not able to survive in the market. Some reports suggest that the belt attached to the watch was weak and needed to be replaced after some time by Microsoft. The band was almost the best in the technical aspect; however, the band design was not appealing enough to attract users towards it. ‌‌‌‌

17. Cortana

Microsoft Failed Products - Cortana — Microsoft Failed Products – Cortana

Cortana was Microsoft’s voice assistant, named after the AI character from the Halo video game. It was first made for Windows Phone and later added to Windows 10, Xbox, Skype, Teams, and even iPhones and Alexa.

Microsoft used the same voice actress from the Halo games to make Cortana sound real. But even with a cool voice, most people didn’t use it. It never made it to smart speakers and wasn’t as helpful as Alexa or Google Assistant.

In 2019, Satya Nadella said Cortana was just a helper for Microsoft, not a competitor. Over time, Microsoft removed Cortana from all devices. By 2024, it was completely gone, replaced by Microsoft Copilot.

Conclusion

All these Microsoft fails can never be considered a setback for Microsoft. It was all a learning experience that has only led the company to design and launch better products. Beginning as a lone company in the personal computer market and continuing to be one of the major players in the market even after competition and options soared tells a lot about the commendable way in which Microsoft learns from its mistakes and evolves.

Samsung’s Biggest Product Failures: Worst Models, Flops & Why They Failed

No matter how big a brand is, how fancy their ad campaigns are, or how much they sell, everyone has their flaws and some embarrassing failed launches. Whenever there is a conversation about failed products, one cannot complete it without talking about the infamous Samsung Note 7, the phone that became a meme and a safety hazard after a lot of its units kept on exploding.

Samsung is one of the most valued brands in the world and sells a wide range of electronic devices from smartphones to dishwashers. Samsung is a colossal multinational company from South Korea and has a big influence there. Samsung is known to create innovative, high-tech, quality devices. Samsung has launched some ground-breaking and unique models, but some devices could have been better. And then some were straight-up failures and tainted the brand image.

Let’s take a look at some of those Samsung failures or Samsung discontinued products, and understand that even giant multinational businesses make mistakes sometimes.

Serial No.	Product	Year Launched	Year Discontinued	Reason for Failure
1	Galaxy Note 7	2016	2016	Battery explosions and fire hazards; global recall and safety concerns.
2	Samsung Laptops	2000s	2014 (Europe/US)	Poor sales, strong competition from Apple/Lenovo/HP; lack of innovation.
3	Galaxy A & Galaxy M Series	2014 (A), 2019 (M)	Some models phased out	Oversaturated lineup; brand confusion; cannibalization of own mid-range offerings.

5	Galaxy S21	2021	2022	Underwhelming reception; strong competition; overshadowed by S20 FE and newer models.
6	The Galaxy Fold	2019	2019 (revised model relaunched)	Fragile display; screen durability issues; early review backlash.
7	Samsung Galaxy Alpha	2014	2015	High price for mid-range specs; poor battery; quickly replaced by Galaxy A series.
8	Samsung Galaxy Beam	2012	2014	Dim projector; short battery life; low demand; considered a gimmick.

Galaxy Note 7

The Galaxy Note 7 was launched in August 2016. The product received a decent response from the buyers, and a lot of people bought it. The phone came with a big screen, an enhanced stylus, and a promising camera. Everything was going great until the news about the phone overheating and exploding started going viral.

Most of the people who had that phone at that time were experiencing weird things with it. The temperature was the biggest issue, and it became a safety hazard. The market value of the brand dropped tremendously, and the product was doomed to fail. After that, Samsung sent replacements and then, ultimately, terminated the product and discontinued it.

Samsung Laptops

Do not worry if you have never heard of Samsung laptops before, because their laptops are less talked about and are not as famous as their smartphones. Most of the people who bought the laptops were generally disappointed and wanted to switch to another brand.

The laptops were not as smooth and neat as the smartphones, and one could easily tell the company hadn’t put as much work into them. These days, they are still trying to push the new range of their laptops, but they are still not that popular amongst the general population.

Galaxy A & Galaxy M Series

Samsung A Series & Samsung M Series - Samsung Failed Products — Samsung A Series & Samsung M Series – Samsung Failed Products

When these phones dropped, people bought them like hotcakes, but after two or three days, the phones started having issues. The main issue was that they rebooted all of a sudden. The Exynos chipset utilized in these phones appears to be the source of the problems. People were dissatisfied since the phones were relatively new, and because Samsung is a well-known brand, this level of quality from Samsung was not acceptable.

And the phones were quite underwhelming themselves. Even without the technical issues, the customers were disappointed because the hardware was not up to par, and the phones were not up to the mark. Samsung had numerous competitors at that time, including Redmi, Vivo, Oppo, and OnePlus, all of which offered better services than Samsung at Oppo and OnePlus even offered lower prices.

Galaxy S10

Samsung launched its Galaxy S10 range in 2019, and it has gained a lot of popularity. Samsung is a big name when it comes to smartphones, so a lot of people bought it. The punch-hole camera, massive screen, quality hardware, and great camera tech got everyone hooked.

But still, like most of the Galaxy phones, these also have their issues. The apps kept on crashing, and they were forced to close. This ruins the experience. The fingerprint reader was also not working properly and made a lot of users angry. Users also claimed that the phone was overheating and that the battery life was very disappointing.

Galaxy S21

Another Galaxy device is on the list of Samsung fails. This time it is the Galaxy S21. The product did not sell well, and the quality was inferior as well. Users were experiencing tons of bugs and issues with the series. The latest Android 12 update was not helping the phone at all, and the phone was frustrating its users. The hopes were high, and the loyal Samsung fans were disappointed with the problems like quick battery drainage, installation issues, and many more. Samsung has promised a new system update to fix most of the problems, like bugs and software issues.

The Galaxy Fold

Samsung Galaxy Fold - Samsung Worst Products — Samsung Galaxy Fold – Samsung Failed Products

The new Galaxy Fold phones are fantastic, but the first one, which was released in 2019, was a big letdown. People were excited about getting it, as it was a foldable device with a huge screen. It created a lot of buzz because, at that time, it seemed like the future of technology had a lot to offer. But when the people finally got to use it, everyone felt underwhelmed. The phone was not cheap, so everyone was expecting some quality. But it felt like the only good thing was the big screen and nothing else. The quality was not up to the mark. The hardware was fragile, and the phone was not worth the price.

Samsung Galaxy Alpha

The Galaxy Alpha is another Samsung failed phones that was a fancy phone launched in 2014. It looked nice with a metal body and had good features. But it didn’t sell well because it was too expensive and didn’t do enough for the price. So, Samsung stopped making it soon after. Most people choose cheaper phones that offer more value. It was quickly replaced by the Galaxy A series, which was more affordable and popular.

Samsung Galaxy Beam

The Galaxy Beam was a special phone from Samsung that could project pictures and videos onto walls. It was a new and fun idea, but it didn’t become popular.

One big problem was that the projector wasn’t very bright, so the image was hard to see, especially in bright rooms. Also, the battery didn’t last long when using the projector. Because of these issues, not many people bought it, and Samsung stopped making it soon after.

Conclusion

Samsung is a major player that has created a slew of amazing items that have proven to be game-changers. However, the company’s reputation has been soiled by a few failures. The majority of failure items were due to an internal problem. Samsung, on the other hand, has continued to develop innovative technology for its customers. Even if there are some failures, Samsung has provided aid to dissatisfied customers through replacement, software updates, and much more.

FAQs

When did Samsung enter India?

Samsung entered India in December 1995.

Why is there no Samsung in Japan?

Samsung does not brand their phones in Japan due to anti-Korean prejudice and a preference for Japanese-made products.

What are the failed products of Samsung?

Galaxy Note 7
Samsung Laptops
Galaxy A & Galaxy M Series
Galaxy S10
Galaxy S21

Who are the top Competitors of Samsung smartphones?

Some of the biggest competitors of Samsung Smartphones are:

Apple
Huawei
Xiaomi
Oppo
Vivo
Lenovo
Sony
Microsoft
Motorola
Asus

Is Samsung F series failure?

The Samsung Galaxy F series is not considered a failure, but it’s not a major hit either.

Is Samsung M series failure?

Top 12 Best Email Tracking Tools and Software 2025 | Best Email Tracking Apps & Analytics

You’ve received multiple emails from various brands; for example, Swiggy sent you an email about its exciting offers on particular products. Yes, that is how company email marketing works! But how do you know if the recipient of your emails has opened them? Is it to their liking? Will they issue a call to action in response to the emails that you have sent? What if they are our business potential customers?

When you hit send bulk email, these questions appear in your head for the following minute. That is why email monitoring solutions were created to track emails in order to make business decisions.

What Is an Email Tracking Software?

Email tracking software is a tool that lets you know when someone opens your email and clicks on links inside it. It helps you understand how people interact with your emails. This way, you can see which emails work best and which don’t. Many businesses use it to improve their email campaigns and reach more customers. It works with popular email services like Gmail and Outlook, making it easy to track your messages.

How Does Email Tracking Work?

Email tracking tools work, whereby an input image embedded within the email is generally used by an email tracking system. This pixel is activated when your lead opens the email, providing you with information such as when it was viewed, from which device it was accessed, how many times the prospect opened your email, and so on.

This implies you now have real-time information about what occurred to your email, which can help you decide what to do next. You may think, that tracking a person’s email would be illegal, but guess what? No, it’s not! It is totally fine to track the recipient’s email only if you are working from the business’s perspective.

These email analytics tools are quite helpful for your business because they make things quicker as well as simple.
