I really never understood what the bitching was about. I never really had a problem with ISX VFP edition. In fact, I liked it so much I upgraded to the full blown ISX. I would also bet IS benefitted quite well from this partnership with VFP as have countless VFP developers.

We also had a discussion about this at one of our UG meetings where someone was getting grief about a VFP app that was about to be installed until they saw the IS Install Wizard auto startup from the CD. That impressed them. So this just confirms it is the little things that make a difference to end-users, FWIW.
