So MYOB is teaming up with Microsoft in the great AI accounting arms race.
Worth remembering: Microsoft already has its own competing stack (Dynamics etc), so this isn’t charity — it’s about pulling MYOB deeper into its ecosystem.
History suggests that getting into bed with Microsoft rarely ends well for the smaller partner (just ask Nokia…).
Feels less like a partnership and more like a slow absorption play.

@mojo I'm still using V19 MYOB from about 20 years ago. Still works fine, no subscription.
