Does anyone have any thought on the recent microsoft ruling concerning the browser? wars.http://headlines.yahoo.com/Full_Coverage/Tech/Microsoft/ It seems to me that Microsoft will eventually win this battle since they will eventually make Explorer part of their operating system. But I doubt they can get away with that with Microsoft Money. The latest version has gotten good reviews lately in the press and if they start bundling the program with Windows it will eat rapidly into Quicken market share.

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.
