What defines the natural lifespan of a product?



I don't know. I know that Windows 95 has long since reached the end of its natural lifespan, and that users feel that Sparrow's life was "cut short". I'm sure there isn't a sharp dividing line, but we don't really need one in this case - it's clear which side this falls on.


Sparrows lifespan is whenever the developers feel like not supporting it anymore.
