FYI...I noticed that Money Plus Premium is now showing up on the Costco web
site. Not sure if it's in the physical stores yet or not.

I'm in Arlington, TX. I saw it at Frys yesterday. I've been looking, but
it isn't at Best Buy yet. They still had the 2007 version at several
stores with a GPS unit for $129. That's higher than MSRP!

Sounds like reasonable assumptions. I ordered a copy form Amazon and
it is scheduled to ship sometime in Oct. Haven't checked any of the
retail outlets.

I saw Money Plus Premium at Fry's Electronics. This was on Saturday,
in northern California.

Default MONEY + IN STORES

I'm wondering if the new Money Plus program has made it to retail
stores yet like Best Buy, Costco or Office Depot?

It seems to me that Microsoft has a new marketing strategy this year
in the distribution of the Money product. First sell it online via its
web site. Then market it via the internet to online stores like
Amazon.com. Finally ship to retail stores for distribution. Am I right
about this?

It may be an attempt by Microsoft to see the customer response to
various distribution techniques with the plan to market Money as a
yearly service upgrade in the future. What do you think? Steve
