Nobody at Microsoft (except the Fox team and Eric Rudder) has ever cared about VFP, even known the existence of VFP I asked Microsoft's support in a competition against Java for a large account, the guys did not even know VFP was part of Microsoft's offering many other VFP devs have done the same experience.

Note that, competitive development tools vendors having now disappeared, Microsoft now gives away all dev tools for almost free and many of them open sourced. Excel team leader at Microsoft and founder of which has taken over the developer forum market in a couple of years) explains that Microsoft has sold development tools (like VFP) only to avoid 'cutting off the oxygen to competitive development tools vendors' that contribute to expanding the Windows application base.

So be careful with this stuff.įoxPro 9 is plenty of fast already on modern hardware since it was designed for much older and slower hardware and uses current hardware efficiently. I'd also be very wary of any claims of performance gains that aren't backed up by some proper benchmarks - while recompiled code may have some things that are faster (namely raw integer math) I doubt any of the things that matter - namely FoxPro internal feature functions and more importantly anything related to Rushmore will be any more efficient.Īnd again - if VFP '10' uses some reverse engineered Rushmore it's effectively an illegal product that violates FoxPro copyrights. wwIPStuff, wwDotnetBridge amongst a few of them and I doubt that COM server operation works under 64 bit. As Thierry points out Web Connection has several dependencies on 32 bit DLLs.
