Windows can't even install its own old products! I remember back when I had to upgrade systems from XP to 7 and the users needed IE8 in able to use some internal websites. Microsoft was like "Fuck you, you can only use IE9 or above" there was literally no way to download IE8.
I also hate it when they only make shit available through the Windows Store or another convoluted process. No more downloading a simple EXE or MSI and double clicking it!
Wasn't IE8 preinstalled on Windows 7? Wasn't IE9 the only version of IE that wasn't preinstalled on anything? I'm pretty sure someone (if not you) already downloaded IE9, in that case, I absolutely don't know how to downgrade versions of IE.
I don't remember what version it was exactly, this was like a decade ago, but I just remember that I needed the previous version and couldn't find anywhere to download it.
Still a shame
