I extracted this some time ago can't recall the exact source but it should be of some value to you:

- Extremely fast local data engine
- Subsecond queries in record sets with millions of records
- Good OOP implementation which speeds development, promotes reuse, reduces bugs
- Develop 1-tier to n-tier apps that are scalable to a backend server and to the web
- Excellent on-line peer support through forums like the Universal Thread and fox.wikis.com
- Built in database engine
- Highly productive User Interface creation because of inheritance
- Inexpensively deploy large and fast file server based applications
- No client licence fees like SQL Server or Oracle
- Extremely fast string handling which is good for HTML and XML manipulation and generation
- Can produce and consume web services
- Built-in XML support
- One of the best implementations of intellisense which extends to COM and web services and helps to improve developer productivity
- VFP 7 can interact with .NET applications, and can create and consume Web Services
