vs Comparison

Microsoft vs Discourse

Who’s behind each, what their homepages track, what they cost and how often their policies changed, measured the same way for both. By what they offer, they’re very close.

Microsoft

Former Microsoft open-source project hosting site (CodePlex, shut down in 2017); the domain now redirects to Microsoft's corporate homepage, which sells and promotes Microsoft products such as Microsoft 365, Windows, Azure, Surface and Xbox.

Discourse

Discourse is open-source forum and community software, offered as a hosted service or for self-hosting. It supports discussion forums, Q&A support hubs, team chat and product feedback boards.
