Like maybe when you go to MSFT's website and click on development tools, VFP8 shows up under key topics instead of having to do a special search for it?????

I got a new pc at work (it's great!) and I'm reinstalling alot of the tools and had quite a time finding the support packs for VFP7 among other things. The first thing I noticed though was that checking out development tools by MSFT on their website does not display VFP8 with the newer tools.

Oh well, it is all about the big bucks and that is what business is centered upon. A few crumbs dropped towards VFP would be so nice!
