Speaking of MS Access for the web, I'm pretty surprised that DabbleDB (http://dabbledb.com) hasn't been snapped up by somebody yet.  I think it's a lot more impressive than JotSpot (though not exactly filling the same niche).

Regardless of it's format, it's good.  It's much more like MS office.  
It has a MS Project like project management tool, and a spreadsheet, 
etc.  I have been using Jot to manage a project with a small team and it 
has worked really well.

Anyone got any good ideas for a new web 2.0 project to create and sell 
to Google for billions?  I'll go in halfsies with you.
