It's back up now.

It really would be nice if they posted these messages BEFORE they take
features like these offline. I start trying to troubleshoot and end up
wasting quite a bit of time. Their message wasn't posted earlier when I
looked.

Regardless, thanks for the updates and the assurances that it wasn't
something wrong on my end.

YUP and still down.. good to know its not me..

I'm using Money 2007 and the system won't let me sign-in to online updates -
it keeps saying that the attempt "was unsuccessful" and "if you see this
error again, the servers for Windows Live ID or MSN Money may be undergoing
maintenance". It also give me a link to "check server status" and according
to the status, everything should be up and working.

Anyone else having this problem with online updates?

Thx
