Microsoft has announced that it will not be releasing any new versions of its Visual FoxPro development software past Version 9.0, but the company will continue to support the technology through 2015. Instead of releasing new versions of FoxPro, Microsoft will release core portions of the FoxPro software to its CodePlex community development site, said Alan Griver, a group manager within the Microsoft Visual Studio team, which leads the FoxPro team.

My father in law who started using old DOS based programs like Clipper was really good with FoxPro. If the database was setup correctly, it was really fast, even with hundreds of thousands of records. What was really neat about it was you could make executable applications from it and host them on a server. But, they could not charge for a client/server model like the do for Sequel Server. So they kind of let it die a slow death.
