The idea of the product is really great. The cost is prohibitive for all but major corporate customers.
Add in Google's track record of killing products… just like this… and why would you invest?
Jamboard needs to be a tablet companion app first, and the hardware can follow. If they're going to keep coming up with these halo products, then they need to support them for the long term. They also need to be willing to bite the bullet and give these away to lock people into Workspace because it's unique and no one else does it.
Now it's another reason to not buy in.
Now imagine if you bought one of these.
Is there any Google project outside of early search and Gmail they did right?
Maps and Photos are ok IMO. Slowly getting shittier though.
Maps were bought by Google from different company. Photos is AFAIK actually made by them.
Photos as an online photo gallery is their implementation yes but they bought up Picasa the desktop gallery early on. That software included tagging and I believe face recognition by the end.
Picasa, now that's a name I haven't heard in a llooonnngggggg time
Wasn't Google Photos super racist a few years back?

And many others I miss. It's a bit mind boggling how many things this corp has done. They have killed so many and there still so many yet, and many open source projects.
I wouldn’t include Tensorflow in the list. Tensorflow’s dates are numbered too.
Google internally all but switched to JAX.
dum, dum, dum…another one bite the dust…
