Microsoft was really aggressive about getting the dev tools out there in that era. In the mid 90s when my brother went to an academic conference as an undergrad he got handed free cds of NT 4.0 and the entire Visual Studio product line. That's where I first messed around with a lot of stuff too, such as that horrible Scribble MFC tutorial.
