    Back in the day, Microsoft Basic could accomplish this same feat with just T1 (type it in): 10 Print "Hello" 20 Print "World!" Run Hello World! Far more concise and efficient.  I'm still not convinced that VS2003+ is any real productivity improvement over what came before. Perhaps you could provide me with some more practical examples where T4 can really show its power and convince someone like myself that there is real value in what Microsoft is putting its efforts in.
