LOL, I too was stunned to see that.  "Committed to Access as a developer
platform".  I'm not sure I have ever seen them state that in writing
before.

The other links were interesting, but particularly on point to this
thread is the last one:
http://216.55.183.63/pdc2005/slides/OFF307_Covington.ppt,
entitled: 

Developing Collaboration Solutions 
With Access 12 And 
Windows SharePoint Services "v3"

In particular, these points caught my attention:

*         Engine based on Jet code-base and installed with Office, 100%
backwards compatible with Jet

*         Connects to external data sources

*         Foundation for richer support of complex data

*         Multi-choice combo box (M-M joins)

*         Attachments 

*         Append only

*         Read and write Excel "12" file formats

*         SharePoint ISAM enhancements

*         OM changes to DAO and ACE OLEDB provider (ADO)

 

And perhaps most notable for this community, this point from the Summary
of said PPT presentation:

*       Microsoft is committed to Access as a developer platform

In NO way am I saying that this is definitive. These are merely quotes
from the PPT presentation.
