There's a review of Access in today's San Jose Mercury in which half the
column is devoted to warning people about buying new programs. Access got
1/4 for performance, 2/4 for ease of use, and 1/4 for value. The reviewer
hadn't experienced problems but repeated reports found in the trade press
and bulletin boards. I don't think much of reviews based on someone else's
experience but it would appear that Access doesn't work any better under
Windows than OS/2. It'll be interesting to see if anyone will pay $695 for
it after Jan. 31.
