I had a consultant buddy ask me about FoxPro last year because he knew I had done some work with it at one point. Apparently all of payroll at some largeish company you've maybe heard of (~15k employees) was done using an ancient FoxPro Windows 3.11 version (2.6? 2.7? memory's rusty) running via compatibility on Windows 7 and they were just getting around to trying to replace it. In a way people probably think things like that are insane but if you step back and look at it, if it was getting the job done all these years it was decent engineering.
