Judging by the balance of your comments, M06, and the general trend of the
product for many versions now, the answer is probably along the lines of
nothing you will approve of.

I was wondering what is going to be done about the enormous interface of MS
Money? One of the reason's I never upgraded to Money 05 is that the buttons
and header area of 05 was HUGE. I'm sure this is intended to make things
more visible, but as a graphic designer I just can't stand the way the
program looks.

I really don't understand WHY MS made Windows XP themable, but then they put
out products like MS Money that use their own buttons and titlebar and ignore
their own rules.

There is a TON of whitespace (ok, ok, it's blue) that could be removed to
give me back more screen real estate, something I would really like.

My main gripe of Money 05 really is the humongous header and buttons though,
it is just a big disappointment from 04 where the buttons weren't gigantic
and the header didn't take up 1/3rd of my screen. It's really annoying that
Microsoft doesn't think of something like this.
