Microsoft killed FoxPro in 2007. Anyway, here's FoxPro revived
The article describes FoxDev Studio, a modern 64-bit revival of Visual FoxPro that can open, run, and edit legacy FoxPro projects, forms, tables, and dependencies in place without migration or rewrite. For CIOs and technology leaders, the strategic implication is that long-lived FoxPro systems may be preserved and extended on modern infrastructure—reducing technical debt, avoiding costly replatforming, and extending the useful life of critical business applications—while also introducing a one-way compatibility boundary once data grows beyond FoxPro’s old 2 GB limits. This matters for IT organizations because it offers a lower-risk modernization path for mission-critical legacy apps, but it also requires careful governance around data growth, compatibility, and support for hybrid environments that may still need to interoperate with Visual FoxPro.
