FoxPro is a legacy database development system from Microsoft, and WindowsForum.com discussions focus on compatibility issues when running older FoxPro applications on modern Windows versions. Users report problems such as a FoxPro program failing to detect an internet connection on Windows 7 over WiFi, while the same program works on a wired Windows XP machine.
