You could also link to a website, by linking to a shortcut to it. (i.e. save
a shortcut of the website to the folder where you are saving your Money
attachments) and link to that shortcut.

It looks the same as Money 2007, tho I have not done a pixel count
as I did for Money 2007. Money 2007 had a tiny increase in the
vertical space of the portfolio payload vs Money 2006. I may do that
same test with M08 some time, but not now.

That would be nice. MSN Money / MoneyCentral has such a control
called Enlarge/Reduce Portfolio, but it is not as good as it used to
be. Now it gets rid of the left column, but it brings the right side
of the table over. In the earlier version, the right side of the
payload would stay right, so you got a net gain in area. The
existing MSN Money / MoneyCentral control could still be handy on a
laptop display.

Any file on your computer, and probably anything on your LAN.

I used a Zip file example as a special case that would let you link
to multiple files in effect.

I don't currently use anything for which I need a MSN password. Too
paranoid for that. I connect to my banks/brokers directly and download
info.

Have they claimed more/less of the screen for their stuff compared to
M2006 ?
I would love to have an arrow to reclaim the left margin ( like google has
on maps)
That way we could see more columns on stocks/mutuals ( % gain , ROR etc)
rather than having to scroll to the right.
Thanks Cal.

Can't you also link a transaction to an external pdf file? A lot of folks
have asked for this; I'm not one of them......

There are some significant bug fixes. If one of the fixed bugs was
bugging you, then it might be good for you. If they were not
affecting you, then you might not notice. The stock spinoff was
fixed, so you don't have to work around Money . The scheduled backup
to USB flash trims to keep only the number of versions that you
specify. It can backup to flash drives with more than 2 GB of free
space, which earlier versions failed at. There are more fixes, but
those are the ones that I think affected the most users.

You can optionally have Automated Online Updates, even if you don't
have a LiveID/Passport on your file. But it only does that to your
converted no-LiveID file if you set a checkbox. If you have a file
that was already set up with a LiveID it defaults to on, but I think
you can un-check that box to let you control the update by clicking
to update when you want it.

It maintains changes that Money 2007 instituted, such as only your
third party FI downloaded info goes onto the MSN Money server,
whereas the OFX and web-downloaded info stays on your own computer.

I have not found any downsides vs Money 2007, unless you count
activation. That doesn't mean that there aren't any new problems
that I missed.

The apparent new thing is Insights-- an option to have a single tray
icon that identifies upcoming Bills with a color change in the tray
icon, gives info on spending if you have budget categories in the
spending tracker, and you can get an overview of cash flow if you
are set up for online updates. I understand the upcoming bills part,
but I have not tried the budget or cash flow part. The use is
optional.

So it is a low key functional update, rather than the change for
sake of change type of update. Those who are looking for a color
change or a reordering of the menus will be disappointed.

Changes are not dramatic. If not locked out of stock price downloads,
etc., I'd wait for more forum traffic on the new version before
concluding you have enough information with which to decide. Even if
you decide to upgrade, you're obviously not an early adopter. Consider
waiting for a patch. Those sometimes occur within a month or so of
release, if the larger user population reveals previously unknown
problems.

As a M2004 Deluxe and a M2006 Deluxe user, I'm curious about the new
versions. I don't use/care about passport/MSFT's online services. So ....
for my banking/brokerage accounts
is it worth upgrading ?

Any new 'problems' doing stuff that used to be simple ( on your old
version) ?

Any 'great new ways' of doing things that used to be a hassle?
