I don't think they'd be interested. Porting the .NET framework makes much more sense from a universal standpoint.

Beside that, Microsoft submitted and got approved the .NET Framework and CLI to the ECMA as standards, thus paving the way to implementations in non-Windows platforms such as Mono and Rotor.

Visual FoxPro is still a propietary product, so no one can do this without violating MS intellectual property. And MS lawyers are not the nicest people on the Earth. Jsut take a look at the great EULA controversy that Whil Hentzen ignited by just trying to show VFP running over Linux at a User Group meeting...
