Those are the places where current hype doesn't pass so easily, but long-term commitment and backward compatibility does. And Fox is the only developer's tool coming from Redmond (apart from, maybe, most basic C or Fortran) which can still run 15-year code without much mucking about, so it has a firm base in those places.

FINALLY !!! YOU ARE THE WINNER OF TODAY'S PRIZE!!!!

If ANYTHING, this is the correct reason why M$ keeps FoxPro alive. They don't wish to encourage a reprisal from the Government for failing to keep those projects going at minimal cost.
I mean, Fox DOES work correctly, where .CRAP will constantly need Hardware and Software upgrades to ward off crashes, bugs, and virii attacks. Fox does not. The GOV$$ loves that!!!
