About this tag
The tag 'kin' on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about Microsoft's Kin mobile device, which was a short-lived product line launched in 2010. Content references the Kin in the context of Microsoft's hardware history, often comparing it to other devices like the Zune and Xbox 360. Additionally, the Kin appears in security advisories, specifically Microsoft Security Advisory 2524375, which noted that fraudulent digital certificates from Comodo could affect Kin devices alongside Windows Mobile, Windows Phone 7, and Zune. These certificates could enable spoofing or phishing attacks. The tag also includes mentions of the Kin as a failed experiment preceding Windows Phone 7, and a brief user post about the device's launch.
