Can you elaborate? What happens to MM2004 on Sept 1 2007? What stops
working? Downloading statements from the bank, downloading stock
prices, etc?

Unlike Dick, I do a lot of online banking with Money and like that a lot. I
use Microsoft Money 2004 Deluxe extensively for that purpose and am
satisfied. If you have not done so, I suggest you consider online updates,
at least.

MM04DLX is available for $11 on eBay. Click
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...167289914&rd=1
for an example. A caveat is that online updates on September 1, 2007. Not
bad for $11. I recommend that you update to that version. It, like other
versions of Microsoft Money, has bugs, but it's significantly faster than
2003, in my recollection. The degree to which the bugs annoy you depends on
what functions you use.

2005 is pretty bad, in my opinion. I tried it and dumped it rather quickly
after being unable to resolve account duplication and other problems. If you
don't use online banking, 2006 is minimally different. If you do, there are
improvements. In either case, it's slow. Incredibly slow, compared to 2004,
using a data set converted from 2004. The word glacial comes to mind.

YMMV.

Many consider me biased. I'd say if you don't do the online thing and can't
find M04, then stick with M03. I think you'd have a very hard time finding
even one feature in M06 that was more useful to you than what you have in
M03. The ONLY one that's coming to mind for me is the comparison reports.
But you would find lots of ads and lots of arbitrary zero value add changes
and lots and lots of new ways to get you to the ads. What you've read about
M05 and M06 seems about right to me. My M05 review is at
http://umpmfaq.info/Money2005.htm. Many here disagree but many agree. Who
knows what it means?

Given M06's pathetic performance with my data in my environment I may never
actually update the M05 page for M06.

Hi,

I have Money 03 Deluxe. I am not using online updates. Features wise,
is it worth to upgrade from 03 to 06 ? I read that 2005 was a total
disaster, and that 2006 may be slow.
