[AccessD] The Access Developer's Dilemma

It is sad to see.

Microsoft had so many "At A Boyz" supporting their every product, installing
and recommending them in every shop and business. Somewhere, somehow, at
Redmond, everything went wrong. The direction just went off the rails and
the management forgot who their friends and supporters were. What MS has
lost can never be recovered and it is truly sad.

MS has done it to us too many times, especially on the mobile side.

Which is why when WM7 came out, we dropped support for them and switched to
Android.
