Lately there was a MS update that deepsixed Quicken help (which was
really "rented" from another company). It took longer than many wanted,
but it was fixed. That's life. Something relatively new is/was
interfering with my Acer laptop's ethernet port. Result is that it
really does not like to shut down. Supposedly a Marvell Yukon update is
fixing the problem, but I'm not 100 % sure it did. I'll live with it ...

 Beware - I switched in 2005 for six months. I was very unhappy with the
product. Read their website and determine Money's software issues.

It doesn't seem as full-featured as Quicken, but so far it seems to work.
Do you remember what issues you had?

Data corruption was my main complain closely follow by a slow user interface
and unstable download. Much on the links in the software (too many links?)
lead to advertised sites. I did not like how they treated 401(k) accounts.
On the plus side - I like the reports much better then Quicken. 2005 was
not a very good year for Money - but I am certain they improved since then.

If you track newsgroups - Money with a smaller set of users attracts much
more volume this this newsgroup. Keep in mind that many people that write to
a newsgroup are searching for a solution to a problem or have a complaint.
Like Quicken, there are many happy Money users.
