Yup...there it is!! On the VB home page!! (also here)!! Duncan Mackenzie, the VB Content Strategist for MSDN blogs about VFP 9.0. He's got some great things to say about VFP too.

"Visual Fox Pro has always been a wonderful product, but I never really got to use it, because by the time it came out I had started using Visual Basic, and I've never really left that language since... I did a few projects in VFP here and there, and at times it seemed leaps and bounds ahead of VB..."

Further on he states,

"The great feature set of VFP has always been nagging at my mind though, and the recent release of VFP 9 is no exception. I know it is likely an absolutely wonderful programming environment and language... it has always been very productive and very well tuned to its core task (user interfaces to database systems, which probably describes 80+% of the business apps in the world). I doubt I'll find a project to use it on in the immediate future, but if you are like me and have a MSDN subscription, you might want to install it anyway and give it a try..."

Yup, you read that right...here's one of the most visible VB guys inside Microsoft telling VB developers to give VFP a try. WOW!!! That's all I can say. [Garrett Fiztgerald]
