You are right, but they will probably use the GP code to produce 
a low level product for the revenue it could generate and for the
probability that some users would upgrade to the full MS GP product. 
MS previously had GP produce such a product (Profit or Prophet I
believe). It would now make much more sense to have a MS Money,
Profit?, MS GP upgrade path. 

I hope they do because competition produces better products at less 
cost for users and Sage seems to be only using Peachtree for upgrades 
to Business Works or MAS90. In fact, there was an announcement that
indicated MS was interested in buying PT or Sage.
