Microsoft has started informing users Photosynth, MSN Food & Drink, MSN Health & Fitness and MSN Travel apps will be discontinued. To be frank, as a Windows user, I’ve always felt like these default MSN apps weren’t relevant and there weren’t too many users out there with a real interest in them. And now it seems that Microsoft is getting it, as well. Photosynth is a software application that analyzes digital photographs and generates a three-dimensional model of the photos and a point cloud of a photographed object. Microsoft has now announced that it will be killing of the Photosynth apps for Windows Phone and iOS users, losing developer support and being pulled from the stores. Microsoft said the following on the Photosynth website: If you have some panoramas created with the apps, Microsoft urges you to upload them to Photosynth.net, which the company is going to keep. You can then choose to share them or set as private. The MSN Travel and MSN Food & Drink for Windows, iOS, and Android will be discontinued on September 28th while MSN Health & Fitness will be discontinued on November 1st. Microsoft said the following:
Thus, as these apps are no longer being supported, they will not be coming with Windows 10. Frankly, I like this move and I believe it will give the upcoming OS a cleaner aspect and will cut down on the amount of bloatware.
