Hi, one question...

Can you support or post old versions of microsoft software like excel, access, office etc.....????

Nope, that would be illegal. We can only post old versions of freeware and shareware programs.

They have a windows version too I think, DOC compliant.

Try Open Office. It is totally free and is made by Sun Microsystems. The same people who make Star Office. It is at www.openoffice.org. It has a word processor, spreadsheet,presentation,html editor, calculator, and more. It does not even install spyware. B) This works with Windows or as I like to call it Windoze.

sun office does not open any previous windows documents you made already have on your computer.So if you lose office like I did,get your computer running again,try to open a file or document it ain't gonna happen with sun.

No Infact you are allowed to post Microsoft software...

Anything that no body would have normally in todays systems...

MS Office 4.5
Windows 3.1x
MS-DOS

There was a court case a couple of years ago, this guy was selling cheap 486s with Windows 3.1, and Microsoft Corp of his country went berzerk... Someone high up in Microsoft basically said, its now abandonware and is legal to distribute on PCs freely...
As these are 'obsolete' software why bother with licences. Once something is classified as Abandonware its under i think its GPL.
If distributing Microsoft software is illegal, hell who uses MS-DOS anymore???
