Well, and the real issue is that Access is not a single application;
it is a tool that lets you build applications.  So while we can
maybe make 'Northwind' work, we have no clear way to feel confident
that our customers can use it to build their own applications.
And so we hesitate to drive for and claim support for it.  And
it doesn't help that Access ranks very poorly in our compatibility
center as well.

Cheers,
