The latest Microsoft venture? Accounting software

Article Abstract:

Microsoft Corp's Profit for Windows accounting software is a simple, easy-to-use program that takes the pain out of accounting jargon. Its major strengths lie in its ability to provide up-to-date inventory, cash flow, and sales and customer reports; and in its capability for gathering and organizing a small company's financial information that makes it easier of human accountants to decipher. Financial information is keyed in through the usual business forms, including checks, invoices and purchase orders. Profit's simplicity makes it ideal for new ventures but inadequate for bigger companies that need a more complex accounting system. One limitation is that it does not lend itself to foreign exchange, translation gains and losses, and depreciation computations.
