Microsoft is on a 5-year plan (in about Year 2) to migrate all their mid-market packages to a single Best of Breed product. We expect to find this product to have strengths from each of the Microsoft Business Solutions products.
Historically Microsoft Business Solutions (and Great Plains before them), have provided migration solutions for all customers to be taken care of in one way or another. I would expect this to be through a data migration path. I can't imagine there would be a way to migrate custom code, as none of the products really even do that well today.
There is no way to prepare yourself for what future technology is, other than staying current on Microsoft technologies and product versions if you are in a Microsoft environment.
