[AccessD] The future of Access, .NET and SQL

"Utilize Managed code" implies .Net hooks, but I suspect that's smoke
and mirrors with Access merely using dlls created with .Net.

On the 2nd page of this presentation was this list, under the heading
Pro Developers / IT

- Whole new class of apps 
  integrated with WSS
- Rich and reach interfaces
- Server-side manageability
- Highly RAD
- Utilize managed code
- Confident upgrade path

Certainly interesting!  Any one have any guesses as to what 'Confident
Upgrade Path' might mean?  Does this mean Access 13 someday, or upgrade
to VB.Net/SQL Server, or something else?

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.
