Discontinued Microsoft Tools/platforms

Microsoft discontinued a lot of development tools/platforms over the years. The one that has a big impact on our company is the Active Server Page. We still have a lot of "Pages" that need maintenance from time to time without the development environment - Visual InterDev. It is a pain. What is the next to discontinue? SharePoint, Entity Framework, Windows 8?

If you're looking for a cold shower, I'll suggest MS reverses course again and discontinues the classic desktop completely. :omg:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Windows 8 is perfect for novices and experts, the middle suffers. It is amazing to see people furiously clicking through menus instead of learning a few key combos. Try Win+X anywhere. Win+X,U,U[^] for those who doesn't have an ATX power supply Try Win+<1..9,0> on the desktop (Win7, too) Win+R (Win7, too) Win+arrows (Win7, too) Win+[Shift]+Tab (Win7, too)

Entity Framework will be gone shortly SharePoint is a permanent service Windows 8 is a permanent paradigm shift

The only people that suffer with windows 8 are self proclaimed computer experts, people in the middle have no trouble with windows 8, not does anything that has the ability to learn something.

I'm confused.. why can't you continue to use the old IDE? Was it cloud based? Did they revoke the license to it? Did you lose the installation media?
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Lost the installation media. It is not available in the MSDN subscription download. Thanks,

Did you try to find a downloadable version?

Microsoft promotes SharePoint heavily. I did some serious development in it with InfoPath. Unfortunately, InfoPath is gone. Have not heard anything about the future of SharePoint.
TOMZ_KV
Just joking. :-D SharePoint is a good platform but InfoPath left a lot to be desired, namely since it stored all attachments in the form there was a limit to the number/size of attachments that could be stored. Another problem came if you changed the form, all prior saved forms needed to be saved with the new prototype form. Additionally all workflows started with the previous forms were broken. It was never something to be used in production. You say it is gone now. Good riddance. X|

Unfortunately no. I googled it and followed a number of links but they led to nowhere.

Have you asked around to see if someone can give or sell you their old installation media for it? I probably used to have a copy at my old job I'd have just sent you, but its long gone now.
