You could say "Visual FoxBasic" is finally happening, although maybe not how/when many expected.

>>In looking to the future for its Visual Studio tool suite, Microsoft is reaching back to the past. In Orcas, the version of the company's tool suite that is set to follow Visual Studio 2005, many of the new and innovative features actually borrow from Microsoft's FoxPro database, according to sources. Visual Basic 9.0 will gain some of the data-handling capabilities that long have been part of FoxPro. Microsoft is set to talk about all of this and more at the upcoming Professional Developers Conference in Los Angeles.
