By now, we are realizing Access 2013 doesn't leverage all of the events and power of Access 2010 (and previous).
We realize that companies may not take the plunge to suddenly retire all of the existing, proven, working Access applications.
One of the options going forward is to run MS Access via Citrix or Remote Desktop. Those of us who have been distributing Access are willing to share the information. My end users have both Windows Portable and Apple. They use wireless data in remote locations nationally.
In some ways, the Citrix or MS Remote might be less overhead to set up than setting up (and maintaining) a SQL Server.
I recently came across this article:

There may be many others.
Expanding Life into Access 2010 through the next decade may not include moving to Access 2013 and beyond.
For those who may walk into work some morning and discover the IT Network department has upgraded to office 2013 over night, this would be a good option to have available.
If there is a MS Access Citrix / RT discussion opened:
Myself and others will be happy to share information about the printer problems (it actually is not a problem). And other helpful hints.
In closing, I feel it would give this excellent community a 2nd life.
An example of the Discussion would be:
Citrix / Remote Desktop
- Thin Client vs Web (discussion)
- Licensing
- Useful Articles
- Access Design Considerations
- Conversion - Setup - Maintenance
- Distributing and Releasing New Versions
- Managing Printers and Desktop
- Access Code (VBA)
