Where can I find older versions of Microsoft Products?

Hi All, I don't know if this is the right place to post this question, if the moderator thinks it's not, please move it to the right one.

I wanted to ask you guys if you can post some urls where I can download older versions of ALL microsoft products. (DirectX, Windows Media Player, MS Office, etc ...) I need these to test my apps that it would be backward compatible to older releases of the products.

If you can point me to an archive site where microsoft keeps their older (even unsupported) products (if there is one), I would gladly appreciate it.

    The only way that I know of is to get an MSDN Sub... then you can download it from the subscribers download site.

    You will find that if you have an MSDN Subscription you should be able to get hold of the older products that are still active, As to older versions you might have to contact MS Directly as I do not think that they are around... The other option is to purchase them on Ebay or Garage Sales....

    Hi Glen,

    Thank you for the tip. I think I will do that. But is there any other way where I can just download it
