On the FoxPro History site, I ran across this response from Microsoft to some negative/false reports about VFP's demise. It was back in 1996, but it seems like Microsoft's viewpoint is still the same:

Error: The Fox return on investment is too low to make it a viable product

Microsoft believes that the return on investment calculation for Visual FoxPro is not just a dollars and cents issue. Visual FoxPro represents an investment in our customers and the installed base of applications, the value of which is not measured solely by current revenue or current contribution to profit. We are committed to the Fox community and to the customers using FoxPro applications to run their businesses.
