问题
Recently I've been trying to download Visual Studio 2012 Express, but I failed to find it. One day the links were there, and the next day all of them were replaced by 2013 editions. Even Google and Microsoft's own search in their Downloads site find 2012 editions, but when I open links I see that they are 2013 now.
Why did Microsoft do that? I find it strange that they removed 2012 links, especially because 2010 links are still there.
See for yourself: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads
Where do I get Visual Studio 2012 Express now? We have a bunch of projects in TFS which we don't want to convert to 2013 yet.

Found this page searching for "Visual Studio 2012 Express not downloading"... When it did not work in Google Chrome!
If above solutions still don't work, try downloading with Internet Explorer!
Worked for me :)
Download for Desktop or choose your edition.
