But they've also disassociated manual updates to MSN Money having any
effect on desktop Money. So using MSN Money on your handheld does not get
the data into your desktop at home.

Many people were terrified about having their data on the web, for valid
reasons. But the choice to do so has been eliminated for those who might
have reason to.

If I were still a kid, I think that my response would be for this situation
is "smooth move exlax". I have started using Excel Mobile to sort of do the
same things that I was doing in Microsoft Money for Windows Mobile. I have a
theory about why there is no longer going to be a Microsoft Money for
Windows Mobile Client. I think that there were so many problems that they
were having with it, that instead of taking the time to fix them, they just
did away with it all together. Take inking for example. Instead of making
inking work correctly, they just removed it from Word Mobile. They sighted
that nobody used the feature anyway as the reason they removed it. I would
say that if people did not use that feature, then they just did not know how
to use the device. Again I believe that Microsoft wants you to use their MSN
Money sight instead of using a Windows Mobile device. I think that they want
these devices to go away. At least that is what it looks like to me.

Perhaps the business sense/strategy has to do with return on investment?
I.e., there isn't one for doing the PPC development. It doesn't sell
anywhere near enough PPCs nor copies of Money to make it worth their while.

I am really puzzle on why is microsoft not supporting money for windows
mobile 5 devices? It is still the Microsoft products and it is a very useful
tools that alot of money users is using, and I think it is also a good tool
to lock-in users to Money.

I am really puzzle on what business sense or strategy is Microsoft taking in
this aspect. Anyway, I guess I have to look for alternative financial
software like quicken now.

You're right, Dick - double negatives should not be used. I was trying to
say is:
1. Microsoft won't support any Money clients for WM 5.
2. Microsoft won't support Money 2007 for any WM OS.

Why? By whom? How much have you paid from any MfPPC release?

Go for it. We'll keep an eye out for results.

If Microsoft is going to no longer make a version of Money for the Pocket
PC, then they should be REQUIRED to support Money 2006 INDEFINATELY. I think
I need to start calling Microsoft inquiring about a version of Microsoft
Money for Windows Mobile 5 until it is released. Otherwise I think that we
should all not upgrade again until it is released.

Let's be clear given the potential for double negative confusion here.

My understanding, that I think Michael was agreeing with, is:

- quote -

Affirmative. It means Microsoft isn't releasing such a thing.

- quote -

Affirmative. It means M07 won't be able to do such a thing.

The answer to both -- support for WM 5 and client for Money 2007 -- is
negative.

I have read the same MS statement in the Money website.

Qutoe:
- Money for the Pocket PC will work on versions prior to Win Mobile 5.0
(2005). It does NOT work on Win Mobile 5.0.
- Money 2007 will not synchronize with any Pocket PC version.
- Money 2006 will synchronize with Money for the Pocket PC if it is running
on a version prior to Win Mobile 5.0.
UnQuote:

On the second point, does that mean that Microsoft is not releasing any
update to the Money for Pocket PC that support the Windows Mobile 5 device,
or does it only mean that currently Money 2007 is not able to sync with
existing available Pocket Money edition?

Can someone from Microsoft Money team please clarify this issue? It would
be rendered Money 2007 almost useless to me if the pocket pc version is not
available, as I used to enter the transactions on the move. If that is
really the case, I would have to look for alternative solution and that would
be a painful step to go.

Cheers!

Hi

I would like to enquire when will the Pocket Money for Windows Mobile 5
device be available that could sync with Money 2007?

I have been using Pocket Money for a lot while but sadly it does not work
after I upgraded by pocket PC to Windows Mobile 5, the Pocket Money doesnt
work anymore.
