It seems the fox team has taken a lot of ADO.NET work that MS has spent big bucks developing and placed a VFP style programming interface on it. That is the only way I can see them accomplishing so much so quickly. And it is a good strategy too, if that is what they did. Offer VFP developers the benefits of .NET without obsoleting their knowhow. We win and MS wins.
