Yes. There are previous threads.

The "word" that MVPs were allowed to post:

Annual Release Change
- Microsoft Money Plus continues to be a valuable tool for our customers;
however the feedback we are hearing is that the incremental updates to the
software don't merit a new product every year. Given this, we have decided
against releasing a 2009 version of Money Plus.
- We are moving off of an annual release cycle for Microsoft Money Plus (no
Money 2009 version in the fall), with future release dates TBD. Money Plus
continues to be a valuable tool for our customers, however the feedback we
are hearing loud and clear is that, after 17 years in the market, the
incremental updates to the software don't merit a new product release every
year. Given this, we have decided against releasing a 2009 version of Money
Plus.

100% Online distribution (out of the packaging business and physical retail
store shelves)
- More and more retail consumers are going online to shop the endless rows
of digital shelves. In response to our retail partners' needs, consumer
behavior and business efficiencies, Microsoft is focusing distribution
efforts for Microsoft Money Plus software online via download and
discontinuing traditional box sales of the software at retail.
- Microsoft Money Plus will continue to be available at retail outlets
while supplies last. We have stopped shipping new product to retail outlets.
- We have been listening to our customers and analyzing market trends and
business dynamics and feel that distribution the software product online
will provide our customers with the right mix of products and services that
will meet their needs.
- The combination of Money Plus and MSN Money will continue to provide a
comprehensive source for our customer's money and personal finance needs.
Through the various tools and tight integration with the site, Money Plus
customers can get a complete view of their finances, understand what bills
have been paid and which are due, access stock information and tap into the
extensive list of financial experts on MSN Money for tips and guidance.
