>That works both ways. The toolkit has VFP printed in big, friendly letters on it, and anybody who uses it will know that the stuff comes from VFP. Some may get curious and eventually get to insert one of their MSDN CDs and install the beast to see what's there.

Yes, if those guys have the same outlook just yours. I am not too negative here but what's happening in the VFP community supports what I am saying. We waited for MS to do something about VFP: marketing, enhancements, etc. but to no avail. The efforts of Ken and the Fox team are too short for our expectations because basically MS don't consider VFP to be included in their overall strategy as far as Software Development Tools are concerned.
