What our customer's say!

"Bless you all for saving me from buying this Ca-Ca!!! STOP THE EXTORTION MS!!", My bank's bill pay started messing up my account, so I thought it was time to bring it in house again! I tried Quicken first. I am not fond of Intuit software but I try to stay away from MS whenever possible -- So I bought it and found out that QIF files cannot be read by the new version! Go figure it has only been Quicken's file format for the last dozen versions!

I, of course, bought the new version - Why did I not go through eBay or Amazon and buy an older version?!? Why would I? After all QIF is Quicken's format & my bank listed it as their format and said I could download that format! Quicken didn't say it had changed formats on the package. I cannot use this version with my bank AND anyway it is as awkward to use as the intuit programs usually are. But what do I know... I have only been a full charge bookkeeper for the last 20 years or so...

So I dug the 2004 version of Money out of the set of disks I got when I bought the computer & loaded it. I VERY easily uploaded the last 4 years of statements into Money! Very fast!! I thought I wanted to have it automatically upload, BUT after reading your horror stories, FORGET IT! I will stick with the 2004 version and manually upload my files thank you!

I have XP Home and that is supposed to be a problem and I NEVER let any software update itself, EVER!!!

OH, and thank you David (?) for the tip about NOT using the passport. I will stop immediately!

Sorry it sucked for you all but bless you for telling me! Your suffering has not been in vain!

Why oh why doesn't Microsoft just charge us an annual fee to be able to access online banking? Idiots!

"Former loyal customer says this is KRAP!", I've been using PC-based accounting for my home since the first version of Quicken came out a billion years ago. I've been using Microsoft Money since 1999. I'm a happy, easy customer! I'm faithful to pay the price every couple of years to upgrade to the latest version. NO MORE! All of a sudden, and it must be tied to the new 2008 calendar year, MS Money can't open my regular file or any of my backups! I backup regularly. It isn't a file problem. My Vista PC has worked great for 9 months. This has something to do with some new automatic update that screwed everything up. I'll probably switch to Quicken soon. This is the time of year when I do my taxes, so it is the most important time for MS Money to work. It has failed me. An internet search says this is a common and recent problem with MS Money. KRAP. Bill Gates & Company have designed an overly complex operating system that sometimes fails the most basic tasks.

"Couldn't get it to work on XP or Vista!", I am continuing my attempt to get the software to work on my new desktop with Vista, but no luck yet.

"Not compatible with the trial version", I was using the trial version of Microsoft money. When I installed the actual version bought from Amazon it could not read my existing data. I called Microsoft and they told me that even though the products were the same the trial version was a newer version and not compatible. I had to return this to amazon. Amazon gave me my money back.


"Money easier to use", The Microsoft Money 2007 Premium Program is easier to use and has great features for the average user to keep track of his or her finances

"Performance is harassament and functionality is faulty", I am a seasoned user of "Microsoft Money" since 2001 and used Money-2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007 versions. On the subject of convenience and integration of multiple financial activities, Money (and for that matter even Quicken) does fantastic job.

However, with 4-5 years of usage of 'Money', my money file has grown to nearly 21MB. With this size, I am getting pathetic performance which is consistently annoying. I have a laptop with 1.6GHz dual core CPU and 1GB RAM, however very basic activities such as looking at monthly report, budget report etc. takes 2-4 minutes to display on the screen ! Even if I go back and try again, it will again hang for 2-4 minutes. I will be lucky if I get 'any' operation finished faster then 5 seconds/transaction. The problem is with specific version but the way Money is designed to store its information. There were some comments on improving performance by using Database to store information but Microsoft chose not to invest money on that.

Another annoying thing I observed with Microsoft Money is with every newer release you will get fancier but more BUGGY software. So far I found '2004' release best in the bunch but once you upgrade the version and make new entries it is not feasible to go back to earlier version.

Let me give you example that will explain the problem. Most common activity one will have is it to download data from financial institutes. Money will connect to these institutes and get the data. It will turn back in 2-3 minutes with newer data and status as 'done'. On the "Account List" you will see, for example, 5 new transaction and when you go into that account there is 'nothing' yet ! Reason being, data is still in flight but status shows 'done'. After 2-3 minutes you will get the data in the account. When you try to accept the transaction it will say "data is still in flight" but you got status 'done' ! In short, after getting data downloaded from the institute, you won't be able to 'accept' them for nearly 5-6 minutes. I am surprised to see Microsoft is selling software w/o testing such basic functionality ! FYI, I noticed this bug only in 2007 release.

I wish to have a better software for my need w/o losing existing data but Microsoft hasn't decided to have better (not just newer) version yet. Quicken seems to have similar issues and it doesn't allow any migration facility for me to move my existing data from last 6 years. I can just wish that Microsoft Money 2008 comes with higher performance and basic testing.

If you are a first time user, prefer to compare both Money and Quicken for yourself before locking your data in one of the them. With 'Money', once your file grows larger, performance deteriorate significantly.

One last point-- even with above limitations, I am better off using this software then not having it at all. Microsoft is doing a good job of marketing its positive points so I won't spend time on that.

"NO MS MONEY FOR POCKET PC!!!???", Shame on Microsoft for crippling this program by taking away Microsoft Money for Pocket PC. Why make me pay money to upgrade if you're going to send me back to the stone age of writing tranactions down with pen and paper. I don't want to do that work twice - write it down then enter it at home. Some people enjoy living in an age when technology makes your life easier. Not to mention that when I travel for work I want to be able to see my upcoming expenses and have all of my finances available at my fingertips without printing out a ledger to take with me! I almost returned this for MS Money 2006 which still has the Pocket PC version, but since MS would only give me until September 2008 (for that version) to automatically download transactions from my bank, I would be in the same boat in a year. Instead I found SPB Finance, a software program that runs on your pocket pc and will sync w/ MS Money or Quicken. It's not free, though, adding $25 to my upgrade for MS Money! Well, if there's one thing Microsoft is good at, it's keeping these small companies in business making software to "groom" their product. Shame! I've been using MS Money for 7 years, but when this version of MS Money expires in two years, I think I'll look around for other options that don't require so much hassel.

"Microsoft Money 2007 Premium", Pros: Overall, very good financial software program.

Cons: Optional features hard to locate. Help menu average, can not separate regular accounts from investment accounts on Income versus Expense graph on main menu.

"Doesn't have Windows Mobile support", Don't get me wrong. Money is a great product on the PC, but when Microsoft, in its infinite wisdom, migrated Pocket PC to Windows Mobile, they stopped making a MS/Money module for it. One of the great features of Money was being able to keep track of expenses when you're away from the home or office. Sure, you can carry your laptop with you, but that's not very convenient. I wish they would at least explain whey they did this.

"POC", I bought this software program together with TaxCut a few months ago, and it is a great disappointment. Unfortunately, I was too busy to give it a try earlier, so now I can't get all my money back from Amazon. Do yourself a favor and buy something else.
