Yes, I've been running dBase 3+ and FoxPro 2.6 on my windows 7 system for some time now and it works great. I have not adjusted the graphics but it is great to be able to use the software to test and run programs in 32 bit. It runs all other programs including Joomla 2.5 just fine.

I just picked up my car at my mechanic's shop, and he showed me something I hadn't thought possible. He runs a Parts and Invoicing program that I wrote in FP DOS 2.6 starting sometime in the '80s. He's still running it under Windows XP. But what he showed me was the same program running, in full-screen mode, under Windows 7, completely without modifications! Here's what he did: a. Bought Win 7 32-bit version (because DOS pgms won't run in 64-bit). b. Used Device Mgr to disable the Windows Display Driver, so that it uses the default VGA. c. Changed the DOS box properties to run 1024x768 in Full-Screen mode. We had tried XP Mode under Win 7-64, but could not get the Serial printers to work. We also tried running it under VFP 9, which sort of works but looks terrible on the screen. So he dug into it and spent a lot of nights Googling and experimenting, and by god he solved it! He also found something saying that Win 8 can run 16-bit programs, which we'll look into, but for now we're pretty happy.
