Straight from Microsoft:
Access (Jet) and FoxPro (dbf)
Many applications offer integrated storage engines that are designed to
meet the specific needs of their users. Access and FoxPro, being part of
Microsoft Office, are examples of products that have integrated database
engines that work well within their context but were never fully integrated
into the Visual Studio development environment, as they weren?t considered
general purpose data storage engines.
Phased out might be too harsh of a word, but I believe Microsoft is
shifting developers from Access to the SQL Server platform. Embedded apps
will use SQL Server Compact Edition. Other application Express, Standard,
Enterprise.
Looking at SQL Server CE's feature set ... is there a reason to stick with
Access? Not only does CE provide higher performance, but also T-SQL
compatiblity, synchronization capabilities, etc, why would one use it?
