[AccessD] apocalypse someday...

Hey Bill
Microsoft has been doing this for years. They did it with ACCESS, Windows 8
came out and they dropped some of major components (my experience) that
ACCESS 2003 tied into with the operating system. It took me a major rewrite
when the client updated to the new operating system. My comment is "Who is
the macaroon that decided to do that". That is why I have abandoned ACCESS.

Today is the day I decided to sell all my Microsoft stock come Monday. It
will not be because of windows, it will be because they dropped the reverse
engineering function from Visio.

Who the HELL creates a new version of a flagship graphing tool, and drops
one of the very best parts of the software, without thinking "Who might this
screw??"

If MS thought about it, and did it regardless, they should go out of
business and move over for a new vendor who understands their user base
better.

If they did not think about it, see above sentence.

I am out of that stock forever and will be rooting against them from now on.
