[AccessD] FMS Article on the new features in Access 2007

Drew, 

I agree with everything you say except this.

An Operating System  is the software layer between the hardware and applications.

I want an Operating System, pure and simple, not a combination of operating system and 
application suite.  I want to  decide what applications I need, not have them bundled.   

If I want contact management, calendaring, mail, web browsing, media player etc, etc, I will 
install the programs that I want to use for these applications - they are NOT operating 
system functions and I object to paying for Mircosoft's versions of these applications when I 
buy their operating system.  How much cheaper would a WIndows Licence be if it wasn't 
bundled with all these other applications?
