Some of the new functionality required too much programming to make it work on WM2002 (Their words, not mine).
It seems to me that this is liklely to be the beginning of a trend whereby those of us still running WM2002 on our X5s are going to be left behind to run only old software unless some way is found to lrgally upgrade the OS.

I think it should be free. The same thing with windows 95, 98, me. But then you would have hosting issuses, but if sites already do it illegally, im sure some would do it legally.
My theory, is when the manufacturer stops support for a product, or it gets old, its free.
IE: Resco Explorer's older versions that once costed money, would then be free, Windows 95, 98, me would become free...
