What shows deserve to return?
Like Winamp, some years ago, there were other programs that had millions of users around the world; However, as time went by, they lost popularity and ended up disappearing. Here are some of the most important ones.
1. Windows Live Messenger
Microsoft’s instant messaging service was very popular at the beginning of the new millennium. In addition to allowing you to send text to your friends, this program offered the possibility of sending emojis, winks (2D animations) and the classic buzzes. With the popularization of social networks, it gradually lost users and ended up being discontinued in 2013.
2. Encarta
This virtual encyclopedia was a valuable tool for students from different parts of the world, as it was available in several languages. Every year, Microsoft released an updated version that included information on different topics, such as history, geography, mathematics, among others. Unfortunately, the arrival of Wikipedia caused its demise in 2009.
3. Windows Movie Maker
For a long time it was the favorite program of the ‘first youtubers’, not only because it came pre-installed in Windows, but because it was easy to use, unlike Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, among other more professional software. Like Windows Live Messenger and Encarta, Microsoft decided to discontinue it in January 2017.
4. 3D Pinball
Since its first appearance in 1995, this friendly game has provided many hours of fun. It was so well received that Microsoft kept it until Windows XP; however, newer versions stopped including it. Fortunately, it can be found for free on online video game sites.
