I'd give the guy credit for actually using the software -- at least Money and
Quicken -- as opposed to some of the annual reviews and reviewers, who appear
to copy and paste directly from marketing news releases.

Some of the names are new, and web only, it seems. Interesting enough to take
a look at them.

And I'd also comment on his Money experiences: His bank charging him $10 to
download data. He needs to change banks, unless he's making up for this in the
form of super high interest rates paid on his demand accounts.

And the statement "Money 'stores your bank passwords in a Microsoft data
center...'" is incorrect. It stores your Live ID/Passport password, but your
local Money datafile stores your bank passwords. Unless he's using Yodlee,
which I don't do, and don't keep up with. So maybe in his case the passwords
are stored on some server. And if he's using Yodlee and paying a bank $10 per
month to download, yikes.
