RIP Microsoft Encarta
Microsoft will stop making MSN Encarta
encyclopaedia websites and software after being
forced out of the market by Wikipedia.
According to a message posted on the Encarta
website, the sites will be discontinued on 31st
October, although the Japanese version will run till
the end of December. Software programmes
Microsoft Student and Encarta Premium will stop
production by June. Those with premium services as
of 30th April will receive a refund for services paid
beyond that date and will have access to premium
services until October.
The posting reads: Encarta has been a popular
product around the world for many years. However,
the category of traditional encyclopedia and reference
material has changed. People today seek and
consume information in considerably different ways
than in years past.
It appears that the free online encyclopaedia has
forced Encarta and just about every other online
encyclopaedia off the market. According to Hitwise,
an internet tracker website, Wikipedia accounts for
97% of all online encyclopaedia visits in the United
States. Encarta is second, but only forms 1.27% of
the market. Third is Encyclopedia.com, with 0.76%.
Although the services will be stopped, the company
believes that the assets gained from Encarta may be
used in developing future technology solutions.
Other Microsoft software being stopped include
OneCare, a consumer antivirus product; Equipt, a
subscription security software package; and its Flight
Simulator software.
