No surprise there... Once they killed Money at retail it was obvious what was
going to happen. MS should have just been up front about killing it though.
Saying it was an online product was a bit dishonest.

Quicken online? Not that I like the product, I can almost but not quite
get what I need through Bank of America which has ties to Yodlee. I
wonder if things would be different if MS was successful in buying
Quicken in the mid-90's (and divesting Money).

Gawd, I hope not. Quicken is my number one app I use on the computer. I
can't imagine going back to anything that doesn't have the features that Q
does.
Well, I suppose there will be some type of substitutes available (line HOME
editions of Quickbooks :-) ).

Intuit at least sounds like it is trying to avoid Money's fate.
