It seems that the financial software business at Microsoft is slowly being pushed off the cart. First they discontinue Microsoft Money and now, according to a PC Pro article, Microsoft Office Accounting is getting the boot as well. I found this quote on the Microsoft Office Accounting page:
“Microsoft Office Accounting will no longer be distributed after November 16, 2009.”
I’ll admit its been a while since we did any custom development work using the Microsoft Office Accounting developer tools but still, I am a bit disappointed to see it go. I’m sure the existing customer base and organizations that specialized in helping customers use it are not going to be happy about this.
Have a day. :-|
