[AccessD] Poll on Access 2007

Steve FWIW, I am definitely PRO MS but anti Access 2007.

Over the years MS has given the majority a stable site of platforms which
enables collaboration at various levels throughtout and across the World.
It has never been Un-Affordable although it must be said that costs were
never reduced once R&D and Profits Targets were reached - it would have been
nice to the old-2-back versions at half price for those who didn't want
cutting edge.  But for me, MS has been a good thing.

What I dislike mostly about A2007 is that, in real development terms, it has
bought nothing to the table.  It has remove interfaces that have, in some
cases, taken years to hone and perfect, and all for the God "Looks".  It is
functionality and benefits that count and these are beyond the scope of
end-users - complex, behind the scene coding has to be done to make it
"perform" in a real tough business sense.  EG. What did the Ribbon bring to
the table for a developer producing a MR2 manufacturing solution?  Answer: a
lot of heartache to re-write existing code for no other reason than the
interface has changed.

William,

I would go with "most".  But not "no one".  I can assure you that they are 
listening, and I'm afraid I find the anti-Microsoft and anti-Access2007 
sentiment quite distasteful.  But that's just me.

Regards
Steve
