J> The internet services policy means I have 2 years to access what?

without internet-based services, you click "update" in Money, it connects to
your bank (which must support Money) and downloads the statements.

with internet-based services, MSN downloads your statement from your bank on
your behalf, and then Money downloads it from MSN. Money can do it
automatically, even when it does not run; also, it can (though not very
likely) download it even from a bank that does not support Money.

Also, as I understand, internet-based services allow Money to download daily
quotes for your investments and currency exchange rates, in case you have
accounts in foreign currencies.

The internet services policy means I have 2 years to access what? Now in
Quicken, I can set up investment accounts to directly download and update
from the broker site such as; schwab, scottrade, etc.

Can I do this in MM 2005?

The "two years free" is for what exactly? Is it the MSN integration or all
broker accounts, banks, etc?

Thanks,

Jeff

ps --> (the policy) ....
