No, that was just in there as a preemptive strike against those that
might argue that the reason all those other companies went out of
business is because MS has a better produce, they do not. There is the
rare exception where a quality product won out over the bully but I
think it was only because that product had been around for a long time
before MS tried to take them out, and their product had a large and
strong following as well as being of high quality.

MS bought Fox Software because it was a competitor to
Access. For a while, MS put the Access front-end on FoxPro but
in a short time, FoxPro went away. At the time, FoxPro was
far superior to Access. Don't know about it anymore.

Foxpro is still being sold and is up to version 8.
