    RadEditor for MOSS (SharePoint 2007) Discontinued as of Q2 2012

    Microsoft is going to end the mainstream support for SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) on October 9th, 2012 (see on the official support lifecycle page), we also stopped the development of RadEditor for MOSS, just like we followed suit with the support for .NET 2.0.
