Why we have to pay for it ?

The olde version 7.0 is free to download.

If you don't want to pay for the download, get a different provider. ;)

BTW, this isn't really computer science material. :o

I think you are asked to pay for downloading and installing it.

It is for accessing the services provided by Microsoft through it, that you must pay.

So I think using an older version will not save you from paying?


No problem for me. I never used it even when it was free.
