The term "vaporware" might be notable in the software industry, but this list is not encyclopedic. It lists software that has been called "vaporware" by Wired News and some other outlets. I argue that it will never become encyclopedic because of the highly subjective nature of the term "vaporware". Our definition: "Vaporware describes a product…that has been announced by a developer…if there is significant doubt whether the product will actually be released." Even if it weren't subjective, the list would never be complete (therefore practically useless for research) because of the raw number of software products announced any given year.
