You can use some other words instead, for example "abbandon". Or they leave the product/feature so buggy that its useless. If you rely in MS tech, you always run the risk that it will be discontinued, or became unusable. I don't suppose this is done out of malice, MS is a corporation, it operates organically. I can imagine one manager fighting for his feature to get into the Windows OS, because then he can get a bigger bonus. Even if the feature is not complete, even if the users wouldn't want it, he can use internal politics to get the feature in, so he can get his bonus.
