Well, take heart in that the support they tried to provide cost them many
times the cost of the product. If more people called in an took that much
time, they might try to make a better product.

I finally gave up on Money 2005. After being a loyal Money user since 1997.
I have had too many issues that could not be resolved, heck I even
reformatted my hard drive in hopes I could get it working. No-one at MS could
help me either. I must've spent collectively 25 hours on the phone and 3
different on-line chats trying to fix this HORRIBLE version. I switched to
Quicken 2005 Saturday. The Money inteface is nicer but you know what?
Quicken works and quite a bit faster I must say. I do not know what it is
with MS but they always try and put too much code into their software making
it run slow and giving it the potential fro buggy issues. You would have
thought they learned their lesson with Windows ME!

I upgraded from Money 2004. After having to correct all the beginning
balances to get my account balances right, now I am attempting to get the
BofA Online automatic download to work. I tried to change the account
settings to download automatically, and it creates a new account all
together. So I try to merge duplicate accounts and all appears to be
correct, then the bank balance and local balance are off. Is there any end
to the misery associated with this version... I think I'll switch to Quicken.
It'd be worth paying a monthly fee if it actually worked out of the box
without all the BS!
