Richard. My personal opinion on the 2005 is that they were better of dumping it in the bin. Perhaps they could have offered a heavy discount to those who got caught. Perhaps not.
I would rather that they focus their energies on a singular version. I just wish they would focus better. :). If they maintain every version they certainly loose focus and cause more bugs in new versions.
