Microsoft SBA Targeted for H1 2006

According to Karan Khanna, product manager for Microsoft's forthcoming Small Business Accounting (now in beta testing), Microsoft is aiming for a release of the platform in the first half of 2006. Microsoft had previously announced product availability in late 2005. From the transcript of The .NET Show featuring SBA:

"ROBERT HESS: Now Christin mentioned that we were in the beta phase right now in this application. When does it actually come out into the market for real?

KARAN KHANNA: The plan is in the first half of next year you would have the application available. But it's in beta right now. "

Yes, but the .NET Show was recorded in 2004. So SBA should be available in the first half of 2005.
