Ooh you forgot one:
6) That spiffy dancing paper clip is absent from Access 2.

We waited forever to upgrade our Access 2 apps, and even then we didn't
upgrade to the newest version (2000 instead of XP).  It normally takes
at least a year until a service pack fixes the critical bugs introduced
with each new version.

And I concur with Gustav.  Our remaining 2.0 apps run just as well on
Windows XP (and they are immune from any 32-bit library upgrades that
tend to break office applications).

Reason's to upgrade your copy of Access:

1) You like to donate to the help out the billionaire campaign
2) You're running Ms Access 95
3) You absolutely sleep better at night knowing all your software uses
Activation Keys.
4) That $400 is burning a hole in your pocket.
5) and the final reason to upgrade your copy of Access is:
   You dig the latest splash screen in the latest copy of Access.

I can think of more reasons NOT to upgrade
