I had a Zune mp3 player. I had a computer set up to transfer music to the Zune. That computer died and I tried to set up a newer PC for the Zune. I found I needed both new software for the PC and new firmware for the Zune. And guess what, Microsoft had already pulled down the Zune site that supported my first gen Zune. The firmware was nowhere to be found.

The Zune still works, but it's stuck forever with the same music selection I had loaded up back then.
Windows phone was a little more successful, but still another example of a project Microsoft lost interest in supporting.
I won't ever be an early adopter of any Microsoft product.
