It's interesting that MS is apparently giving up on its ambitions in publishing (the publishing of things other than its first-party application and OS software and so on, of course). Those ambitions go back to before the Web went mainstream, when MS had dominated the PC and was looking for new worlds to conquer. Encarta, first released in '93, was shut down recently too.
- nick_riviera 12y agoSide note and possibly off topic. I have the 2001 Encarta dictionary, print edition! Wonderful book. Shame to see them shutting the project down. I wish they would release everything into the public domain.
