I've got to agree with Rick on this. I barely started playing around with things at the 30 minute mark. I was tempted to demo this last night at our user group meeting but we don't have internet access at the place we're the meetings are held. I'd honestly just prefer something like a nag screen that pops up at random intervals.

The install process for the tool also needs to be a little smoother - at the very minimum, a self extracting EXE that lets you specify the destination directory (which assumes the demo code will operate OK in whatever the home directory is). I'd prefer to just be able to just call an APP to start things up instead of it hijacking the startup app. Have the install launch a "ReadMe" style file at the end with the rest of the instructions for use.

Does (or will) the released version include instructions for exactly what files need to be included in a distribution (and what changes need to be made to your app to support them)? Right now, a lot of that is hidden in the demo app. so it's not easy to figure it out for yourself.
