With 80% of the current Small Business market share I would consider this product to be in trouble next year.

biz.yahoo.com

I remember when this was the product to beat...Peachtree.

Quickbooks is so simple to use...I think they have a window between now and next Summer to 'try' to gain share, but Quickbooks is gonna hurt them bad in the Multi-Users area.

As I see It Quicken.....is on its' way to the web. Personal Finance is going to be a, 'be connected thing' in a couple years......think of Quicken in the future as your in-home personal ATM with digital filing cabinet on your PC.

Taxes will be there too.

Keep in mind MS has no tax or business software....and Intuit has stated that in order of revenue importance it now stands like this.

#1 Quickbooks
#2 TurboTax
#3 Quicken
#4 Internet

And #3 is a mature market....unless & until....it becomes connected with #4....then the entire order may change....IMO.
