Microsoft to do payroll in Office?

Hmm, not sure what to make of this. Found this article on Information Week about Microsoft partnering with ADP in the Us to delivery payroll services to small business. (Via eHRMS)

I am sure this is going to raise some eyebrows in the SME payroll market place, especially in the Australian marketplace if they decide to enter. Why? Not only because they might cause some grief but it would be very interesting to see if Microsoft build their own or partner with local vendors. I guess time will tell if they decide to move into Australian.
