>Being developed by Google it means the chances of a project being discontinued are quite high

Do you also avoid Microsoft products and services because of the chances of a project being discontinued are quite high?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Discontinued_Microsof...

You can also add these to the list:

  Wunderlist
  Sunset
  Games for Windows
  Silverlight
  Zune
  Kin
  XNA
  PlaysForSure
  Flight Sim
  Expression Suite
  SteadyState
  Windows RT
  Windows Phone 7
  Forefront
  Front Page
  Money
Or how about Apple?

I did say that other corporate entities discontinue products all the time.

I suppose the difference with Google products is that they usually seem "cool" and very promising.

With Microsoft I have no such expectations.
