  • Microsoft Failures: List of Failed Products, Projects & Worst Technologies

    The American multinational technology giant Microsoft Corp is internationally known for its computer software, personal computers, consumer electronics, and related services. Microsoft was founded by Bill Gates and Paul Allen on April 4, 1975. They rose to popularity during the 1980s by dominating the personal computer operating system market with MS-DOS.

    Even today, Microsoft continues to be one of the big five American information technology companies, along with Amazon, Apple, Google, and Meta. While we continue to use a lot of Microsoft’s products and services, little do we know about the failed launches of the firm. This article will focus on the failed products so as to understand the evolution of Microsoft as a company in a more holistic manner, which is not usually done due to the over-emphasis on the products that did well in the market.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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 

    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.

    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

    Windows Vista
    Microsoft Failures – 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.

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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    This implies you now have real-time information about what occurred to your email, which can help you decide what to do next.

  • Top 10 Supermarket Franchise in India in 2025

    India is slowly coming under this curb of the corporate world where we are losing track of existing shops and ‘bazaars’ or ‘mandis’. In these hustle-bustle days of ours, we all aspire to get our daily needs under one roof.

    At present, only a supermarket won’t suffice as the online market or digitized market is moving ahead. This kind of service was crucial during the lockdown. More or less, we are all too busy nowadays to “go and shop” outside, which has increased our dependency on online services like Dunzo, Swiggy, Big Basket, and others.

    As a result, several supermarket franchises in India are trying to make alliances or tie-ups with online services like Swiggy and Dunzo to have a value-added service.

    It is hard to deny that India is equipped with a growing retail market, and franchising contributes largely there. This certainly creates diversity in the business model, and both online and offline retail franchise gets priority and mostly in times of crisis like the wild spread of COVID-19.

    India has about 13 million grocery stores. Food and grocery make up the biggest part of the retail market in the country, with a 65% share. In 2023, the food and grocery retail market in India was valued at around US$719.44 billion. According to Grand View Research, this market is expected to grow by 4% every year from 2024 to 2030. Let’s have a look at the Top 10 supermarket franchises in the country.
