>For many of you, this 9 minute video on YouTube will bring back memories if you used FoxPro for DOS. It's from Fox Software marketing of FoxPro 1.0 for DOS, either 1989 or 1990. Hard to believe this was over 2 decades ago.

>What's funny is that this video makes FoxPro for DOS appear to have a more sophisticated and advanced interface than the upcoming Metro UI in Windows 8. :) When's the last time you ran MODI COMM *.prg from the Command Window to open a bunch of program edit windows all at once? :)

What a blast from the past!

Too bad Microsoft never attempted to market VFP. If they had put 1/5th of the effort into marketing VFP that was shown in this video (and they were telling the truth in this video- imagine marketing people telling the truth!!) it probably would still be a viable product today.
