MsOffice Accounting Express 2007

Microsoft has released a free, crippled version of its Accounting Professional application called MsOffice Accounting Express 2007. The application functions like QuickBooks for the small business and looks and feels like an Office application but is integrated with other Office products. It also has Payroll functionality through ADP subscription services.
The beta for Accounting ends on October 31, 2006. Personally, I’ve been risk-adverse and haven’t tried it, relying on my QuickBooks 2005 instead. However, MsOffice Accounting looks like a serious contender for my next upgrade. The integration with Office would save me tons of time not having to re-manage my business clients in a separate database.
What’s also very interesting about this version is its integration with eBay and PayPal. This product looks geared for the web-based soloprenuer. PC Magazine rated it four out of five stars while it was in beta.

Microsoft’s official Accounting 2006 site hasn’t updated to 2007 yet, but this looks like something to keep an eye on.
