10 Failed Software From the World Leading Software Company

Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, Google, Yahoo, Symantec, and Corel are seven large companies operating in the field of IT. Brands they have become the quality assurance for all products issued. But did you know that Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, Google, Yahoo, Symantec, and Corel has produced products that are not acceptable to the market or it could be said to fail. Here we present 10 products will fail in the market from Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, Google, Yahoo, Symantec, and Corel. Maybe even more than most people have never known this product.

1. Microsoft Liquid Motion

Microsoft Liquid Motion is a tool to create animations and interactive environment of a Web site. In addition, Microsoft Liquid Motion provides the facility to publish the HTML files that are ready to be uploaded to the server. Microsoft Liquid Motion also take advantage of cross platform languages ​​like Java, JavaScript and VBScript. The point of this software to function like adobe flash, capable of displaying moving applications within a site, unfortunately its appearance was received less attention than programmer2 in the world .. Finally, due to poor popularity, in 2000 Microsoft announced not to continue development of this software

2. Microsoft Money

Microsoft Money is a personal financial manager software made ​​by Microsoft. The software is built for Microsoft Windows operating system that runs on an IBM PC or compatible only, although now also available an application used for Microsoft Windows Mobile. The latest version, released in August 2007, called Microsoft Money Plus, available in four editions: Essentials, Deluxe, Premium, and Home & Business.

A statistical facts did show that sales of Microsoft Money recent months has declined, although the most likely decision to stop Microsoft Money had been taken long before this trend is visible. Matt Rosoff, an analystsaid the the decision to stop Microsoft Money may be simply to cut spending ,again because of the effects of a global recession .

Having recently stopped Microsoft Encarta and Digital Image Suite Microsoft seems there are indications will be more focus to the cloud services and corporate solution rather than to a small business. I do not know why Microsoft always lose when fighting in the small business market and end-customer.

3. Microsoft Picture It!

Microsoft Picture It!, photo editing application that Microsoft released in 1996. the features of Microsoft Picture It! almost the same view adobe photoshop. Once again this software is less popular in the market because of competition with better software that is Adobe Photoshop. In 2006, after Microsoft released Windows Vista, this software is no longer being developed by microsoft.

4. Apple Cyberdog

Before the apple has a safari browser, in 1996 Apple released a software all-in-one suite to rival the popularity of internet explorer and netscape. Cyberdog itself is a software "OpenDoc-based suite of Internet applications" that the contents of the email application package, news reader. FTP and web browsers. However cyberdog very greedy of memory and support of document format compatibility is limited (because it uses OpenDoc format-based) finally announced the apple does not continue to develop this software and operating system to replace their default browser to Internet Explorer. New in 2003 safari replaced internet explorer as default browser.

5. Adobe Persuasion

Adober Persuasion, a presentation maker application (like microsoft power point), it is clear the reason why this software can sink? hehehe ... This software defeated the popularity of microsoft power point, although they have been providing tools to import the file format microsoft power point, it turns out this feature does not help his popularity. Adobe finally announced to not continue the development of this software in 1997.

6. Adobe LiveMotion

Adobe Live Motion Adobe released in 2000, this software is designed to compete directly macromedia flash who was a winner in the animation editing software. And had to guess why software development is stopped, software sales are not in line with expectations and can not compete adobe macromedia flash popularity at the time. Finally in 2005, Adobe acquired Macromedia and produce successful software adobe flash.

7. Google Video Player

Google Video Player, software that is used for watching video from google, if you never download videos from Google Video Search then this is the software used to run the video.

Why bother using Google Video Player? This is because Google uses its own video format have the extension *. gvi (google video files) and *. gvp (google video pointer). In line with the development format2 another video, google video file format is being abandoned. Peak in 2007 google decided not to continue the development of "google video player" also remove the "google video files format".

8. Yahoo Messenger Vista

Who does not know yahoo messenger? The most popular chat applications in the world, but not all applications are successful in the market yahoo messenger. Yahoo messenger vista is one such example, this version was considered a failure due to bad quality of the webcam streaming and chat features that are less stable, finally yahoo no longer develop this application and switch to yahoo messenger version 11.

9. Norton AntiBot

Norton AntiBot offers protection on the computer from hacker attacks like, hijaking PC, malware attacks, preventing attacks webroot, but in reality it often crashes the application with other applications that cause a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death). Finally in 2009, Symantec announced it is no longer developing software.

10. Corel Family Pack

Corel Family Pack contains the software all-in-one for editing photos, videos, presentations, data analysis, and documents. This ambitious software is an important breakthrough to rival products from Microsoft such as Microsoft Office and application of adobe. But unfortunately, the software with a lot of content is less enthused. This is because almost all software is in it can be searched free version such as open office, Photoscape, etc.. Corel finally decided to no longer sell the software.
