Hmmm...not sure what Microsoft is thinking. FREE is not a word I would usually associated with Microsoft and software. But there it is right on the ideawins.com site:
License: FREE. No strings attached.
No strings attached? Really?
This is a product designed for the very small business. Microsoft's press release states that it will come with pre-built integration to some of the online services like eBay and equifax. This will allow users to connect transactions online directly into their accounting software. And...of course...when and if you outgrow this software, Microsoft has other offerings you might want to look at.
We're reviewing this software now, and will let you know what we think. Thanks to Rick in our office for bringing this to everyone's attention.
