The simplest solution is still resurrecting Visual Foxpro. Micro$oft has its source codes. Market shares of VFP has nothing to do with maintaining an old but popular tool.
Of course, abandoning VFP could force everyone to buy new developments from Micro$oft and hire new programmers.
Sometimes, I think the death of VFP was not just a normal product cycle but a political if not military tool for affect other countries. Micro$oft and US Government clearly knew the consequences. :)

Work and creativity usually do more than miracles... Chen has released a 64-bit VFP compiler (http://www.baiyujia.com/vfpcompiler/), and many other 3rd party softwares dramatically extend VFP's scope compared to what it was 10 years ago.
