Yeah, I noticed that, didn't make any sense. I always check on mess.be now, which I would prefer not having to going to the hassle of doing.
However it was most likely removed so that less computer literate users didn't get confused with things that they don't understand. Everything has to be extremely user-friendly now, and they don't put things on that some people may not understand. However there is introducing this policy so everyone is happy and going overboard, imo, this is going overboard. How could a version number confuse people and end up in them not downloading the software.
I may be wrong in this assumption, but I think I will e-mail Microsoft and ask them if they will put it back. Ok, yeah it is a little sad, but why not.
