Microsoft Kills Off MapPoint and Streets and Trips In Favor of Bing Maps 174
DroidJason1 (3589319) writes Microsoft has killed off two of its mapping products, MapPoint and Streets & Trips. Both of these services have received their last update and will soon be retired in favor of Microsoft's premier mapping product, Bing Maps. The company has yet to go public with a press release announcing the retirement of these two mapping services, but the Redmond giant has quietly mentioned the fate on both the services' websites. MapPoint was first released back in 1999 and made it easier to view, edit, and integrate maps into software. Streets & Trips was a route planning package. Microsoft is now pushing Bing Maps exclusively.

Microsoft has been very succesful in their attempts to innovate, once you realize that Microsoft has its own private dictionary, and in that dictionary the definition of "innovate" is "extinguish".
