[AccessD] Access 2003 integration problem with VSS

I think a fairly telling aspect of this story is that Microsoft does not use
VSS for their own development.  They have a homebrew program called SLM that
they have used for several years now.

When I attended the launch of Office 2003, one of the presenters said
that, internally, Microsoft developers do not use VSS since they found
that, in the words of the presenter, "it sucks". They have a different
as yet unnamed, at least he wouldn't name it, product that should become
a replacement for VSS but he would not give a timeline for public
release.
The .NET tools that were presented only worked with Excel and Word,
nothing at all about Access2003.

There is a "Visual Studio.NET Tools for Microsoft Office 2003", but it
does not appear to be anything like the ODE we have all come to know.

I understand that MS has been helping SourceGear market it's Vault
product - a product that was specifically designed to be a replacement
for VSS.  I wonder if MS has given up on VSS?
