well a gwmicro win eyes csun review has win8 going to uia more
meaning no drivers are required.
Ofcause if ms had done this before we relied on sapi, mssa and a
whole bunch of other libs for access it would be ok.
It sounds like though ti will be better for everyone, however why
they made us use all that junk if it was going to be put in a few
years into 1 library thats the issue.

Yep, once again why can't microsoft just continue xp? :D.
Goodness knows what will happen with access tech and windows 8, it's
a shame after very stable access to xp that things are moving in
this direction, but once again because vi users are a minority we
get the short end of the stick.
I have at least heard that ribbons are so disliked they're coming
out of windows 8, and I've also heard windows 8 has 16 bit
compatibility, so there are at least a couple of pluses there albeit
small ones.
Beware the grue!

Hi Dark,
Yes, unfortunately all the buttons etc are a part of the new
interface. I've used Vista and now Windows 7 so have had time to
get use to them, but I didn't care too much for the new version of
Explorer either when I first encountered it under Vista. However, I
have at least managed to customize Explorer enough that I can
ignore all the extra junk that comes along with it.
That said, you should have seen the Explorer that came with some of
the betas of Windows 8. Now, that was a nightmare. In addition to
the buttons and other crap the menubar had been replaced with the
ribbons that really was a major turn off. Now, I hear the ribbons
are suppose to be removed before final release and let's hope so.
Although, Windows 8 will be a dramatic departcher from XP and even
Windows 7 as far as the U.I. goes.
Part of the reason for that is that Apple's iOS and Google's
Android OS is very trendy. Everything is moving to touch screens,
and Microsoft like everyone else is attempting to come up with a
touch screen U.I. similar to Apple's touchscreen U.I. for
iOS. Windows 8 has a radically new user interface with new touch
screen technology which is similar to iOS, and people who love XP
will likely hate Win 8 because Microsoft is pandering to the
touchscreen users with their new U.I.
Same thing is happening in the Linux world too. Ubuntu 12 uses
Unity because Cononical is attempting to market Ubuntu Linux for
cell phones, tablet PCs, netbooks, etc all with the new touch
screen interface we are seeing with iOS, and in order to stay
competative Linux distros like Ubuntu have to move away from
traditional graphical user interfaces and adopt trendier interfaces
like Unity. Which often leaves access technology in the position of
playing catch up.
Cheers!

Hi Tom.
It is true that I have my own folders in xp set as lists, and the
windows 7 machine I tried wasn't mine, I just wasn't sure whether
all those buttons and random controls were part of the interface
or could be disabled.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
