So no windows specific components. What can this program do that Gramps does not? Apart from the specific entry for types of sources (somewhat like the census gramplet in Gramps), I don't see benefits. And it seems as different sources have their own fields, which would indicate their own storage, which is very specific programming Gramps tries to avoid (as it aims for a broad international support). As it is access, it should be possible to open the store (if not encrypted) and export data like that.
