We may need to decode rebates. One may have one and the other not. can't say
for sure but this has caused confusion in prior years.

Personally, I think these so called "trials" are BS unless you are new
to Money and want to see what it is all about. If you REALLY use the
product to manage your personal finance, I believe you MUST have a
hard copy of the program and obviously have your data file back-up. I
BUY the new version every year at COSTCO because it is well worth the
$25 to $40 each year for the benefits an up to date program gives. I
enter all my bills and credit card information manually and download
stock and fund data daily. I have very little problems after using the
product now for 12 years. I have the advantage of having a financial
background so I don't screw up the program by making wrong
assumptions. Steve

You are correct. M2007 did have a 90 day trial period but I see that it
no longer exists on MS web site and as you say the new Money Plus trial
is 60 days. Just like three years of support ended after M2004 and
became two years starting with M2005, MS applied the 1/3 reduction to
the trial and a 90 day trial became 60 day trial!

I note that the Costco price for Premium is about $5.00 less than the
Amazon price for Deluxe. Am I reading that wrong???

Why not download a trial version of 2007 to tide you over. That's good
for 90 days. I did that and after the MS updates are applied to M2007
actually works quite well.

I just picked up on this issue, primarily because it's affecting me
using M04. Money 2008 will be released on Aug 27, 2007, but there are
two years of prior releases of Money, 2004 and 2005, whose online
services will expire on Sept 1, 2007, only 5 days later. That is per
the table and details in this link:
http://www.microsoft.com/money/fi/osp.mspx

The details state "You will be able to use the Internet-based Services
in Microsoft Money 2005 for a period of two (2) years from installation
of the product or until September 1, 2007, whichever is earlier.".

The Deluxe, Premium, Small Business editions of Money 2004 had 3 years
of online services, so they expire on September 1, 2007, (or earlier) also.

To keep online services working, users with either of those versions of
Money should be prepared to run to Costco or Sams Club after the 27th,
and before Sept 1, to get a copy of MP08. I could probably survive for
a few days without being able to use online bill pay, but it would mess
up my routine a lot, and would be especially awkward at the beginning of
a month.

Based on what we now know (prior comment on here about a 'late release'
this year, etc), I'll guess the Money product team knew this, and still
managed to squeeze the release date in before the prior versions online
services expire.

"Microsoft® Money Plus Premium 2008 Software by Microsoft®"

What in the world?? Just how long are they trying to make the
name? I assure you, as a Mobile Device MVP that supports products
like "Microsoft Window Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Pocket PC
Phone" I am getting nervous that Money may soon have a longer
title!

the graphic image of the retail box on the Costco site leaves little
doubt. Note also that the 'reviews' referenced on the Amazon site, near
the very bottom, are for Money 2007. That had me doubting it at first.

On a positive note for the Amazon site, under the Product Description
section, there seems to be more information. Also noteworthy, the
clickable image of the 'Money Plus Deluxe home page' in that section.
I'm using M04, but that screen shot seems to be different from any 06/07
screens I've seen, someone correct this if I'm wrong here.

The key point seems to be, search for "Money Plus 2008" and other sites
come back with some info also.

As is usual, the new Money only upgrade from N-2 versions of Quiken. It
looks like the much-anticipated receipt tracker has arrived, as has a
revived version of Money Express. No indication of PocketPC compatibility,
so I guess that's still a nonstarter.

Didn't someone mention a PocketPC version of the software that was (is?)
Palm-only? Which software was that? I remember someone posting a link about
"PocketPC compatibility" in the works ...

David

The Costco details also claim that Money Plus 2008 will convert all recent
versions of Quicken upto 2006. Note does not claim to read Quicken 2007.

Hmmmm. Looks like we're re-branding again. Note that the graphic on
amazon.com doesn't mention 2008. Maybe they are getting tired of that
entirely self-imposed merry-go-round? That price does seem high. We'll
see...

Amazon.com lists the deluxe version, also stated as 'will be released on

Amazon's is selling the deluxe version for $5.00 more than Costco is
selling the Premium version.

Costco's website has "Microsoft® Money Plus Premium 2008" listed as
being available August 27, 2007. Absolute minimal amoount of details in
the New Features list (3 things listed), but they probably copy this
right from MS marketing materials.

Anybody who might know will be under NDA and in any case, based on previous
years, MS tend to say "version N+1 will be released tomorrow".

The annual question: Does anyone know the approximate date Money 2008
will be released. I can see it will definately be later than last
year. Any input? Thanks. Steve
