Less for more

Software King of the World Microsoft is planning a raft of cuts in services from its flagship Windows 10 product.

While Vole has always added new in and interesting stuff into Windows it also has been equally ruthless at cutting things. The company has updated the list of features currently on the chopping block. Top of that list is the My People app which is listed as “No Longer In Development” by Microsoft.

Yeah, I didn't use it either. It can be found on the right-hand side of the taskbar along the bottom of your screen where it’s represented by a small icon of two grey figures. The app is designed to bring together your contact lists from various accounts so that you can quickly search for someone you need to contact – whether it’s with a text message, a Skype call, or a professional email.

According to Vole nobody was using it, so I was not alone.

That’s led Microsoft to announce on its Windows 10 depreciated features list, “My People is no longer being developed. It may be removed in a future update”.

Also on the list is the appropriately named Windows To Go, which enabled Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education to create a bootable workspace that can be loaded-up from a USB external hard drive.

The Print 3D app is also earmarked to be culled with Microsoft now pushing users to use 3D Builder to print in three-dimensions from the operating system.
