[AccessD] OT: Survey

That is what happens when you let non programmers from sale management try
to design a package for grandma to use. 

Also there is this agreement between Time-Warner, Sony and MS to manage. The
only way to truly stop copying of their copy-writeable material is make a
system that will no allowing the transfer of any protected information. If
the system allows direct access to the hardware layer the jigs up. So Vista
makes the hardware an abstraction layer and then MS can demand all software
designers must come to them if they want their products certified and
supported. It is not going to work of course but that is the plan.

...not to beat a dead horse but after playing with both Office 2007 and 
Vista, I'm of the firm opinion that Microsoft is a corporate dead horse 
waiting for some fresh young mare to replace it ...how in the hell with all 
that user and developer input they supposedly got, and all the beta testing 
they did, could they come out with their two new major cash cows both mooing

for mercy ...I swear to god it reminds me of some of the products produced 
by government bureaucrats in the early days of ADA when design by committee 
was the law of the land.

...and then there is Visual Studio 2008 and C# and you have to think they 
were produced by an entirely different company, one that listens to and 
understands developers and how we work ...I know its wishful thinking but 
dear god in heaven, can you imagine the next version of Access redesigned 
and coded from the ground up by the Visual Studio development team? ...hell 
they might even pry Access 2003 from my cold dead hands for such a thing!

William
