Hello,

Currently I am using MS Money Plus for Home and Business. Recently
Microsoft announce they will not release any more update for this
software in the future. I just worry about next time I need to
reinstall Money. So I just want to migrate now. So which version
should I switch over? Deluxe, Premier or Home and Business. Any help
I really appreciate. Thank.

Without much more information, I would migrate to the Quicken Home or
Business. Depending how much history you have, I am not certain what
Quicken version you should migrate to (I always run current versions, so
2009 for me). Intuit is working with Microsoft to aid in the conversion
effort - the Quicken product will not be released until August or later.
You might wish to wait until that time to make a decision for the
version.

One thing to consider, you Money Software will still work for many
years. I would consider - not converting at all. Finish this year in
using Money and then start a clean Quicken database (basically from
scratch) in January 2010. In January 2010 Money will become your history
file and disable all downloads. Run lots of reports from Money and
place them in a safe place.

As things stand now, there is one serious problem with attempting to stick
with Money for too long: the newer versions of Money require something
called "Activation" whenever they are installed. Activation will not be
be available for Money after sometime in 2011; so if anyone bought a new
computer, or had to replace their hard drive, or had to reinstall for
whatever reason ... they would be out of luck: Money wouldn't work.

It can sure be helpful to import all the investment data so that when it
comes time to sell Quicken has the proper information help make
decisions about which shares to sell, capital gains, etc.

This link might help: http://quicken.intuit.com/compare_products.jsp .

As previously suggested, I'd wait until they get a reliable version of the
Money-to-Quicken conversion process working.
