Microsoft is shutting down its Office Accounting product on November 16.

"We have determined that existing free templates within Office used with Excel was a better option for small businesses, and the Microsoft Dynamics ERP products were appropriate for mid-range organizations," Microsoft said in a note on its Web site.

The move affects all versions of Microsoft Office Accounting products in the U.K. and North America, including Office Accounting Express, Office Accounting Standard, Office Accounting Professional, Office Accounting Professional Plus, Office Accounting 3-user and Small Business Accounting.

Availability ends on November 16, but customers will receive five years of mainstream and extended support through Microsoft's Web site. The product will also continue to operate after the company ceases distribution.
