Changes to Our Public Roadmap and How We Communicate Access Feature Priorities

Hi Michael, Thanks for weighing in; that means something.  I have checked out your linkenin, but I'm not sure what you mean by " that is part of my email address as there are two different people at Microsoft who have the same name".   Should that limit you from putting "Access Product Manager" as your top billing?   Maybe, or not.   It's not really my concern how you describe and promote yourself.  But appearances are what they are, and if nobody will hold the flag for this product it will continue to fade away in the eyes of the IT community, and unfortunately now, in the eyes of the fewer and fewer Access developers who enjoy working with the product and would like to see improvements to it. 

Access is constantly being put in the corner and ignored - that was something in my comments that you didn't address.  In this case, perception is reality, no more apparent than what I see when I look at the roadmap:

Juxtaposing this to ANY other software product roadmap is sobering, and a bit depressing.

Please don't take this personally.  I'm not trying to shoot down your work Michael, as I'm sure you are very talented based upon your current role with Microsoft.   Just trying to relay what I'm seeing.
