Alex Levine and Igor Dolgalev[3] founded the site in 2001.[3] Levine created the site because "Companies make a lot of new versions. They're not always better for the consumer." As reported in the Wall Street Journal, " 'Users often try to downgrade when they find confusing changes in a new version or encounter software bugs, or just decide they want to go back to a more familiar version,' said David Smith, an analyst at research firm Gartner. 'Often, they discover that the downgrade process is complicated, if not impossible.' "[3] When OldVersion.com was launched it offered 80 versions of 14 programs.[4] By 2005 over 500 versions were posted.[5] By 28 August 2007 this had grown to 2388 versions of 179 programs, in categories such as "graphics", "file-sharing", "security" and "enterprise".[6][7] The site also carries 600+ versions of 35 Macintosh programs.[8] PC World has labeled the site "a treasure trove ... of older-but-better software";[9] the National Review calls OldVersion.com a "champion" for "software conservatives".[10]According to Alexander Levines own words, he has apparently received threats from proprietary software developers for running an archive of obsolete internet browsers with known critical security flaws.[11] See also
