Updated: November 2007
The Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack includes an expanded MFC library to support modern user interface (UI) elements such as the Office Fluent UI, docking windows and MDI tabbed windows similar to those used in some releases of Visual Studio, enhanced toolbars, a rich new set of controls, support for controlling the overall visual style, support for desktop alerts, and much more.
For a full list of features supported in this expansion of the MFC library, see What's New (MFC Feature Pack).
These features are included in an updated version of the MFC 9.0 library that is available for download as an update that installs over your Visual C++ 2008 installation.
The MFC C++ library source code for the Microsoft Office Fluent User Interface (the Fluent UI) is provided only as referential material to supplement the Microsoft Foundation Classes Reference and related electronic documentation provided with the MFC C++ library software. License terms to copy, use or distribute the Fluent UI are available separately. To learn more about our Fluent UI licensing program, visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/officeui .
Contains How-to articles and walkthroughs for new MFC functionality in the Feature Pack.
Contains information about each new MFC type, global variable and function.

I poked around with search, and this is gone gone gone.
Very frustrating.

I want to use MFC Feature Pack in ActiveX with Doc/View Architecture.I made ActiveX with Doc/View Architecture.But, I couldn't use MFC Feature Pack. How do I ??
I want to use the feature pack, but it forced me to use the registry than INI file. When I comment the line of SetRegistryKey() call, the application aborted.
Does any one know where to download the documentation for MFC Feature pack, MSDN 2008 does not consists of this, only place we can see that is MSDN online.
