This means all of us developers love developing for Windows, which means all software is built for windows. Microsoft make money because they make great developer tools and practically give them away (think about how much they could REALLY charge for Visual Studio if it was all about profit). In contrast, their real income comes from Office and Windows sales. NET initiative along with “Server Tools” (this category also includes SQL Server and Windows Server), which is hardly breaking even. Looking at their balance sheets, you can see they bundle FoxPro and the. Infact, they’re running at a big fat loss. Let’s think for a minute about how Microsoft work.įirst, it’s my belief that Microsoft don’t make any money from selling developer tools. What incentives do Microsoft have to support FoxPro? I guess the next question is what do we do about it? A lot of the problems VFP faces would be a lot easier to solve with the help of Microsoft. You’re absolutely right, it’s all about perception.
