M2004 to Quicken? MikeV06 09-03-2007

 MS has expired my online services in Money 2004. So, I can no longer get
stock quotes and download my Fidelity transactions using Money. MS wants me
to upgrade to Money 2008, but it will not run on Win2K and its online
services will expire in 2 years. I do not want to have this issue again in
another 2 years.

Quicken still runs on Win2K so that problem is resolved with Quicken.

If I understand it correctly, Quicken removes online services after 3
version releases? That would mean that only Q6, Q7, and Q8 are able to
download online quotes and download Fidelity transactions -- it that
correct?

How often are new versions of Quicken released?

From where does Quicken download stock quotes?

I read the EULA and it says Quicken can be installed on up to 3 computers
in a single household. That would be very helpful since my wife has her own
computer.

I was thinking about getting Q8. However, the Quicken site forum has a lot
of questions about Q8 problems. I also read that Q7 had problems as well. I
really do not want to go through a major conversion and learning curve and
find myself fighting major software bugs.

Any advice on the best approach to take?

Thanks,

Mike

 Good luck in transferring data from Money to Quicken. I have been trying
but can't seem to get the job done. Downloaded a the data converter and did
as instruction advised and data converter locked up with a problem with
Windows XP SP2. I have given it up.

I just found an item in the Quicken KB that says that the 2008 is not
working. Wonderful, the plot gets thicker. Either I wait until they get it
fixed or I find Q-5, use it to transfer Money files and then install Q-8
over it. I'd really like to find a way to not use either product. However,
the two packages seem to have a monopoly with the financial institutions.

If maintaining you existing file is important to you, get a new computer or
upgrade the OS of your current one and stick with Money -- a whole lot
easier than attempting to convert a Money file to Quicken.

I have several computers. Three of them are Win2K. Going to XP on them is a
possibility, but the users of those computers are happy with the way their
computers work.

The biggest sticking point that I have with staying with Money on those two
machines is that manually downloading Fidelity transactions is not possible
(Fidelity does not provide that capability) nor can quote updates be easily
downloaded.

I have now found out that the Q-8 money converter does not work (see the
Quicken KB).

MS is sticking it to Win2K users that have versions of Money prior to 2007.
It is as you say, but a new computer with a new OS, install a new OS (with
the possible need to reinstall or install many new apps), convert to
Quicken, or stay with Money-04 and live with out some important online
features.

I'd chunk them both if I could find a better solution.

Indeed, your comment is one I have thought about at depth. Thank you for
your ideas.

Mike
