CRM Accelerators Announced

Well, my world just got a bit more confusing.  Earlier this month at the WPC Microsoft announced they would be shipping several free accelerators to provide additional functionality for Dynamics CRM.  Unfortunately, they are calling their new offerings the same name as my company's name, which for me anyway, will get rather confusing.
