2.0 out of 5 stars New versions are not improvements, December 12, 2008

By	Benny Green "Benny" (usa) - See all my reviews

I was forced to update to this version because my bank no longer communicates with Money 99. Believe me, Money 98 and 99 were the best versions. All since have added the "traditional" Microsoft bloat, complications, and features nobody much needs. After many hours, I gave up on transferring my data from 99 to Plus, even though the Microsoft website gives procedures. So now I have 10 years of data that is no longer accessible. Why is it that Microsoft won't allow two versions of Money to co-exist on a computer?
BTW, I'm not normally a crank, it's just that Money 99 was a very good, useful program, and they have screwed it up.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dreadful, January 17, 2009

By	Henrietta Sonntag (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

I had an earlier version of Microsoft Money, but if you don't buy a new updated version every two years, the program will not have the online updates available to you. This 2008 version is incredible, as in it is incredible this got through their product testing. It hangs up approximately 75% of the time, yes, I am counting. The next personal finance product I buy will not be Microsoft Money.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unusable - Mostly bloatware and advertising, May 28, 2009

By	J. Preston (San Juan Mountains) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I purchased this thinking that I could use it to enhance my banking record keeping.

After several DAYS of trying to get this set up to work with online banking, I had to give up.

This software appears to be a cooperative effort between Microsoft and various banks. About half of this software is advertising for online services for a fee.

The other half of the software is unusable. I estimate it would take a week to train one of my secretaries or staff to use this software. I have over 40 years of experience with computers, and, after a half of a day, I could not find out how to print a simple check from the software.

There is no resident help feature. Consequently, everytime you need to reference the very, very, very complicated use of this software to accomplish even the most simple tasks (like printing a check) you must go online to MSN Today and spend (sometimes hours) looking for the use information you need.

Are you still not convinced that this is a major RIPOFF? I installed it, and, when to the "Help About" feature to find out that in the small print my copy of the software "will expire on 1/21/2010" for online use.

In other words, you don't buy this software, you are paying just to RENT it for a year. After one year you would find out that you MUST BUY THE NEW VERSION FOR 2010 or you will be unable to use ANY OF your online banking and accounting data for 2009!

This will be a HUGE mistake if you try to implement it in your home or business accounting. The Microsoft execs and marketing people who are behind this should be put in prison.
