You bet. You have no idea of what you are looking at.
Example: MSFT's PerformancePoint server software has minimal marketshare
right now...
But it is garnishing a lot of interest because of the demise of Hyperion
which was bot by Larry Elison's Oracle, Inc. only to reduce the competition
it had created for His product.
PerformancePoint was about 40 MAN YEARS in the making.

Figure about half of that for an Access clone ?
With 8 good programmers, see you in 2012-2013 then ?
