With luck, maybe only the interface to financial institutions via the
Quicken website will be pulled, and we can still access our accounts
directly with those institutions (as some do already).

Well it doesn't look good. From Fidelity:
Q.         What versions of Quicken=AE and Microsoft=AE support the account
download service?
A.         The three most current versions of Quicken and Microsoft Money can
accept downloaded information from your Fidelity account. Fidelity
cannot support or help troubleshoot problems that may occur with older
versions of these products.

So I'm guessing Money and Quicken are in cahoots, and both turning
into subscription services.

Here's a good read, Alternatives to Quicken and Money:

I had just figured out the one step update (neat concept when it works)
but then some banks changed their login procedures. I had been manually
downloading QIF files into Quicken for years and then through web
connect. One of my accounts still uses QIF files. So much for
progress... ;)

Three years of financial tracking and planning function with daily
downloads of all of my banking and investment transactions. All for
about the price of a movie, a soft drink, and popcorn for two. It just
doesn't seem that bad a deal to me.

So in other words, bend over and take it like a man?

Em, no thanks.
