I received this from Microsoft's public-relations agency:

"While Microsoft Money Plus continues to be a valuable tool for consumers,
the feedback we are hearing is that the incremental updates to the software
don’t merit a new product every year. Given this, Microsoft has decided
against releasing a 2009 version of Money Plus. Instead, Microsoft is
focusing distribution efforts for Microsoft Money Plus software online via
download and discontinuing traditional box sales of the software at retail.
All of the Money Plus products will be avaliable for download on MSN Money,
providing the same suite of tools and information, but no packaging means
more convenience for the consumer and a greener choice for our environment."

Thank you. I figured as much. Have there been any rumblings about a new
version of Money this year? It usually comes out in August or September
doesn't it.

That's always been my assessment. They are just come-ons for fee-based sites
and services.

Is there any real difference in Money Plus Deluxe and Premium? According to
the comparison chart on the MS Money site the only differences are Free
Offer add-ons. All the other checkmarks seem to be the same.
