The excuse:
With banks, brokerage firms and Web sites now providing a range of options for managing personal finances, the consumer need for Microsoft Money Plus has changed. After suspending annual updates of Money Plus in 2008, Microsoft ended sales of Money Plus on June 30, 2009.
What will happen to the plus member?
Update (8/5/09): Later this year, Microsoft will release versions of Money Plus Deluxe and Money Plus Home & Business that will not require online activation. This version will allow you to keep your Money files and transactional history but will not allow access to online services or premium services. Check back here for additional information or look for future announcements in Money Plus.
of course this got me thinking what will I do if Quicken drop it's support? I know it's unlikely since Quicken is Intuite's bread and better. I'll continue this line of thinking at end of this blog.
But first Intuite's ad to get M$ Money's shares:
The Quicken team is here to help.
Right now, Quicken can transfer up to 10,000 transactions from Microsoft Money. We're currently developing an easy way for Money users to transfer more of their data into Quicken desktop products. Our goal is to make it as simple as possible to make the transition.
There are other desktop applications, but for Windows platform Quicken is the best. Other good desktop personal finance software is Moneydance it can run on Windows, Mac and Linux!
A new trends is the online version of personal finance portal they are free! Best two that I have tried is Quicken online and Mint both have it's good and bad... nothing ugly yet :-) I'll have to list the pros and cons on my later blog.
Best of luck to M$ Money users!
