RIP Windows Live Tiles

I was talking with some folks in the ReactOS chat, and one of them shared this link.

I'm feeling a mixture of relief, amusement, and disappointment. Relief because no web content for Live Tiles means fewer distractions and resource hogs, disappointment because there was potential for Live Tiles to actually be quite useful, and amusement because of the fact that Microsoft didn't even care enough about the domain to keep it up.

Does anyone have thoughts to share on this rather ironic development?

It sucked and it should never have been created. 

It was proof the Microsoft failed to learn the lesson of the "Coca Cola and Pepsi" dominance battle.  It created a data push platform using a lousy GUI and generated content where none was requested.

Good Riddance !
