Rob Kennedy is an avid and active .NET software developer who tends to have an opinion about everything. In the windows developer community for over 10 years, he has grown his career and opinions through experience.
Microsoft reported today that they will no longer be continuing the development or distribution of Office Accounting software package. Can’t say we didn’t see this one coming. It’s pretty obvious they were trying to get into the QuickBooks market and it just didn’t make any headway. I don’t know what it is with Microsoft these days but their marketing and reasoning behind developing products seems to be half-baked. It’s the we-can-do-it-too rather than look-what-we-can-do mantra of old. It needs to stop. What should they do with the software? Release the source. I know it’s written in C# so why not?
