>Other than being the work of Microsoft, any other reason why Visual Basic is actually more popular than Visual FoxPro? I mean I don't really understand!

One important reason is that Visual Basic came first. Before Visual Basic, programmer's had to code everything in a relatively low-level fashion - no WYSIWYG.
