I'm not sure I'd even bet on the latter, but it seems more likely than the
former.

Dick,

So far, speed isn't an issue. My file goes back to 1996 and is about 15
megs. The M+ Deluxe trial slowed everything down to a crawl on my Vista
64Bit Dual Processor laptop. Since I don't do the interactive banking or
quote tracking, my hunch is to stay with what is working-Money 2006 Deluxe.
Maybe Money will enjoy an overhaul in the 2009 version that would seem to
make it look more like VISTA and work well with it.

My question here is...will the Tax Estimator be updated annually or just for
the 3 year window?

While the Insights and the ability to link a transaction to an image
or file may not be of significant interest to you, there are some
smaller things that can be important for those who use the
associated features:

If one of your stocks does a spinoff, thing will be better in Plus.
Also, if you one who does scheduled backup to USB flash drives, you
would find that the number of backups to keep is honored; you don't
have to delete the extras manually. Also, Plus can use USB flash
drives with more than 2 GB of free space without problems.

On the downside, some "modules" that can be configured into the
"home" page got slow.

Nope. I never used MoneyExpress, either.

The feature some of us know as "Nuke the bills," first introduced in M07,
largely addressed performance and stability issues I was having--worst in
M06--but at a considerable cost in my time to capture the bills information
and put it all back in. At present I am using M07. I used M+ for the entire
trial period in a dual-entry trial. I found it more or less identical and
maybe a little less buggy--I never saw the "Money is already running" exit
bug nor the Paycheck morph bug. I have not upgraded to M08 for a long series
of reasons which mostly come down to a) sloth and b) it really offers not
one improvement over M07 that is of any value to me. I will probably upgrade
at some point in the not too distant future. I just have to make the time to
do it.

For more capsule reviews, see http://umpmfaq.info/Money2005.htm,

There will be a page for M+ posted sometime Real Soon Now.

Dick, which version are YOU using?

I liked 2004, but it was slooooowww. 2005 wasn't better. 2006 finally fixed
the speed issue. When I tried the M+ trial, it slowed my computer down to a
crawl using the 2006 file.

2004? If you like what they did with M05, then you'll probably find M+ the
best of the M05 series.

Default Best Money Version Year?

I have Vista Home Premium on a new laptop and have dusted off my MS Money
Deluxe 2006. So far, no problems.

My question is, which version of Money Deluxe Version seems to be faster
with the least amount of bugs?

Money 2006, 2007, or Plus?
