AT, I would never expect any software company to support a program that old. What I find stupid is their pulling the file from their server.

People using software this old are not candidates for the new programs on that machine. They are using the older program usually because they either need some other archaic program on an older machine that they cannot replace (company went under, stopped updating the program and nothing better exists, etc.) or they are in a bind and cannot afford to upgrade their system at that moment.

I think Microsoft forfeits a lot of good will by not keeping the file up there, that's all I'm saying. What this does is give a level playing field. I no longer have any loyalty to Microsoft, and I was once a happy Apple client. So things are more even for the replacement to be bought in the next month.
