So if you have been using MS Office Accounting, please consider using other software like Quickbooks etc. Looks like Microsoft is really loosing hold on Money and business related applications. Microsoft has already discontinued Microsoft Money.
Most probably, most of the users of Money and Office Accounting will migrate to Quicken. Please note, Quicken has recently acquired Mint which will be replacing their Quicken Online Money management web application. Other than that there is no major contender in this space.
What you have been using – Quicken, Mint or other money management service like Rudder etc? Let us know how you manage your finance.
