Mike;

An interesting idea! How to make it reality? That is the question!

>>Far all of you that atended to the most recent VFP Devcon and have been playing around with the beta version. Have you seen a integrated browser window (similar to the one in VS .NET) developers could use to search VFP info and Community groups ?

It takes the user to a web page where its only a mouse click away to download the app we've built and fire it up in the IDE. I would have to assume that with this kindof seperation, its will be convenient enough for many people will access it and distant enough from the actual VFP product that it doesn't have to meet strict internal Microsoft policies for building and distributing software.
