Microsoft Kills Cache

[gazumped 6,569]

One third party app that didn't get a lot of love (apparently) is/ was Microsoft Cache - an "Evernote-Keep" competitor launched as a Garage project last year.  It may be evidence of the difficulty of creating a competitive product in this market that Cache is being closed down...

"When Microsoft launched its Cache note-taking experiment last year, we hoped it could become Microsoft’s version of Google Keep, if Microsoft devoted enough resources to it. Sadly, that’s not the case.

In a note to users, Microsoft said Thursday that it would shut down Cache at the end of February, and would no longer market it as a standalone service."

Wow, I didn't even realize they had this product.  Doesn't seem like it would fit well with their push for Onenote.
