Hi,

MOA in the UK has been withdrawn from active marketing. Support for
e-payments and payroll will end within a mere 6 weeks.

It takes an age to transfer to another system and this change fills me with
dread at the possible man weeks I will now need to spend if I transfer to
another system.

I will surely need to change at some point as undoubtedly a legislative
requirement will emerge that forces us to abandon MOA.

I'm sure that my views and similar views by other users will have no effect
on the decision which is clearly a "done deal".

However I do feel the opening line in the email I received "Dear valued
Microsoft® Office Accounting customer:" is really a very sick joke.

When Microsoft comes to market their next software product I will take extra
care and will view their marketing with extra cynicism.

Bob Colclough

For those abandoned by Microsoft, and unwilling to compromise by purchasing
glorified checkbook software that has been modified to look like accounting
software, consider the accounting software from A-Systems Corporation. Go to
www.a-systems.net to check it out. I have used it for several years. It
includes accounting, payroll, contact management, and they provide free
online training. I don't know the cost, but it wasn't much.
