Even during the evil days Microsoft occasionally produced great software like Microsoft Money.
Like any large corporation, MS is not a single cohesive entity and I suspect the Win10 group pushing metrics and Cortana is not the same folks writing nifty quic implementations.
While not quite the same, they're releasing an Excel feature/template called "Money in Excel" soon[1], that uses a Plaid integration to pull live financial data into Excel to work with.
