 Re: Money2007 :: Slow Response Some of us have been arguing for that for almost a decade. MEss and the 60% budget are proof positive how much impact that has had. There just aren't enough of us, apparently.

| Re: Money2007 :: Slow Response Rather than naive focus groups, why not carefully examine what sophisticated users are asking for in the way of fixes, improvements, etc.? Bifurcate the product into a M Essentials-like version for the folks from the focus groups and a non-discounted, full-price fully functional version that has all problems fixed, and has all the desired bells and whistles for folks like us. I would pay $100 for a new version that was a real improvement to all previous versions, was fixed, and had all important improvements that have been suggested here over the years. Maybe even $200! |

| Re: Money2007 :: Slow Response They thought this was an improvement. They do these focus groups and surveys and stuff. Based on the answers, they decide what's important and what needs added and what people don't care about and what needs removed. It's kinda like if the auto makers asked people what control they used most, heard "radio volume" and decided that, therefore, they could remove the steering wheel and nobody would notice or care.

You actually believe that?

Were you wanting to know how to revert to Money 2003 and enter transactions by hand, vent, speed up Money 2007, or what? - quote - > During a Portfolio transaction (Buy, Sell, etc.) it can take upwards of 40 > seconds to complete each time I do one! > All of these things make the tool difficult to use, and I've been using > Money since 1993!

| Money2007 :: Slow Response Upgraded from Money2003. Money2007 takes nearly 6 minutes to load and consumes 85-95% of the CPU (according to Task Manager). Changing screens, for example from Bills to Portfolio, takes anywhere from 15 to 25 seconds each time, and consumes nearly all of the CPU while it is doing it. Where did MoneyExpress go?!? What a pain to have to be in the account to enter a simple transaction. I used MoneyExpress almost exclusively for my day-to-day entries. This is supposed to be a "better" version? Account Balancing -- where are the details we used to have? For example, Starting Balance, Ending Balance, Deposits, Withdrawals, etc.? This was very useful to have and now it's gone. Again, this is supposed to be better? You don't take features *away* from a product!! During a Portfolio transaction (Buy, Sell, etc.) it can take upwards of 40 seconds to complete each time I do one! All of these things make the tool difficult to use, and I've been using Money since 1993! Some versions were better, but Money2007 is not one of them. |
