I missed the original message, but I assume you are talking about the accounting package that will be released as part of office. The intention is for small company's 2-10 employees. I think it is more of a competition to products like Quicken and MYOB than it would be to most pick based products.
However whilst this is a shrink wrapped package, U2 ISVs should consider their marketing approach as I am sure Microsoft will eventually fill the gap between Great Plains and Office Accounting. IF companies provide niche facilities like a Doctor practice or provide value add services such as personal support or other features and facilities, then one can compete successfully with Microsoft.

They are just releasing an update. I don't think this is that much of a concern to us. At least I don't consider it that much MORE of a concern. Your mileage may very, of course.
