Microsoft Corp. today announced the four finalists in the Ultimate Challenge contest, the nationwide search for the best small-business idea in America.
The Ultimate Challenge kicked off in New York City last fall and nearly 5,000 entrepreneurs from across the country entered with a wide array of innovative ideas. The contest, along with the launch of Microsoft® Office Accounting Express 2007, spurred the imagination of aspiring small-business owners. Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2007 is Microsoft’s free financial management software for home-based and newly formed small businesses.
With over 1 million downloads to date, Microsoft Office Accounting Express 2007 is available as a free download at http://www.ideawins.com. Microsoft created this campaign and contest to show its commitment to helping small businesses and demonstrate its belief that everyone has a great business idea inside waiting to happen; all that’s needed are the right tools.
