So Microsoft has released this accounting software to use for free (see http://www.ideawins.com/ for more info), and I'm wondering if it's any good.
Has anyone taken the time to download this and give it a go?

I guess the catch is that they want you to get comfortable with the free version so you'll upgrade to the professional, but the express version seems to do quite a bit.

I'd like to hear about this too. What's the learning curve for this software? Can non-accountants learn to use it or is it too technical? What are its potential for home business, considering that most owners are non-accountants?

I am downloading it and will give it a shot to see what happens. Worth a shot since it's free. It definitely couldn't hurt to have something like this on my computer. I would also be interested in hearing about any experiences with this software.
