Summary: Windows Live Events has one last event: burial

OVER the past year we have seen Microsoft projects or divisions being shut down at the pace of two per month, on average. So, next up it was not too surprising to find Windows Live Events biting the dust.

Microsoft has decided to close down Windows Live Events and will be focusing its development efforts on building event planning and management tools for Windows Live Calendar instead. Beginning next month, users of Windows Live Events will be unable to create new events. And sometime next year, the site will simply redirect to Live Calendar instead.

Here is the only other source we could find, which links to the original from Microsoft.

As Microsoft gets smaller and weaker, GNU/Linux will need to cope with fewer rabid opponents. ⬆
