I'm working on a project that requires Visual Studio 2005 and I've been trying to find a legitimate download site for Visual Studio 2005 Express, but it seems like Microsoft only wants people to download the 2008 version instead.
Anyone knows why it's like this and if there is some link somewhere where Visual Studio 2005 Express is available?

In 2013, Microsoft began supplanting Visual Studio Express with the more feature-rich community edition of Visual Studio, which is also available free of charge. The last version of the Express edition is 2017.
In line with our support policy, starting April 12th 2016 Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, technical support, or hotfixes, for all Visual Studio 2005 products and the redistributable components and runtimes included with them, including the following products: Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition.
This software is a free IDE (Integrated Development Environment) specifically created for programming students. Microsoft has released later versions of Visual Studio such as Visual Studio 2015. For the best course experience, please only use the 2010 Express version as described below.
