Microsoft Access 2010: What's Coming with Office 2010?

Microsoft announced recently that the next release of the Office suite will occur in 2010. News out of Redmond indicates that this release will place a heavy emphasis on web services. So far, there aren't any specific details available on what this means for Microsoft Access.

Wikipedia has an Access screenshot posted purportedly from an alpha tester that includes a few new items, including a redesigned Microsoft Office button and two new buttons (Web Service and Move Data) on the ribbon's External Data tab.

Microsoft declined my request for an interview on any of the functionality planned for Access 2010, but a spokesperson released the following information about their release schedule: "Office 2010...will enter technical preview in Q3 of 2009 and will RTM in first half of 2010."
