Default Re: Why doesn't Microsoft Market Money heavily as it does their other

They used to spend megabucks marketing it by comparison. I think they've
discovered that the demand is inelastic to the amount of money they spend
marketing it. So they spend less now. Likewise, at $25 a copy or so--at
retail--you've got to sell a bazillion copies to pay for much marketing.

Default Why doesn’t Microsoft Market Money heavily as it does their other

I've used Money for sometime now and have been reasonably happy with it. My
question-why doesn't MS market Money as it does their other products? The
advantage of this to customers would be that a higher sales means more bug
fixes, more online banks, and more features, etc. With Money being somewhat
relatively 'unknown' to the world, I wonder if one day MS might end up
pulling it off the market because of competition....just something to think
about...
