Looks like it’s the end of the line for FoxPro/xBase new releases here at Microsoft. Yesterday we announced that FoxPro will not have new releases after v9.0. What a long strange trip. We acquired FoxPro back in 1990 and since then, it’s had a very loyal database developer following, however it’s been a deviation from traditional .NET development & SQL Server, our flagship database.
But now the time to transition has come. We will however provide support for FoxPro 9.0 until 2015.
RELEASE HERE: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vfoxpro/bb308952.aspx
Customers should start developing transition plans for their line of business applications. The good news is that we’ve been taking the best parts of FoxPro and integrating them into our existing product base such as SQL Server, Visual Studio Team Foundation Services, and .NET.
There is a community of folks migrating from FoxPro available here:
