) Intuit Microsoft War: Microsoft Loses Again
Microsoft created it several years after buying heavyweight accounting software producers Great Plains and Solomon. Counting eary losses on these products, this new Intuit Microsoft War investment was about $2 billion. Microsoft originally referred to Microsoft Office Accounting as a Microsoft Intuit War "QuickBooks killer." However, sales were so bad that the $150 price soon went from $150 to $50 and then became a free download, so Microsoft Loses Again. They actually never even made it past number two Peachtree. Many thought the product manager would be the next Microsoft CEO, but he left soon after the new Microsoft Intuit War disaster became an apparent and Microsoft loses again.
Microsoft still sells a $200 version called Microsoft Office Accounting Professional. More>> - (
