Default Re: $2004 probably not worth the upgrade for $2003 users

Good point. Still, Money isn't an application that's 100% suited to its
purpose yet (splits, for instance)

Yea..... I hate when the application itself, becomes more significant than
it's purpose.

Then don't get it. Do something outdoors for a change, you've been spending to
much time in front of the computer.

I forgot to add that 2004 claims to be able to automatically download
statements from "1100 institutions". That might be nice, but still not
worth $40 (after rebate)

"The wrath of a usenet group". I bet Bill Gates wakes up at night in a
cold sweat, imagining the 72 or so sternly-worded posts that will mark the
beginning of the end of his company, then groans ala Marlon Brando, "the
wrath, the wrath"

Default $2004 probably not worth the upgrade for $2003 users

I stopped by a CompUSA yesterday and spent about 10 minutes trying to figure
out if 2004 was worth the upgrade (I have 03). I finally decided it wasn't.
The box is very vague about what's been upgraded. It DOES have a "Haven't
upgraded Money in a while?" list, but nothing similar for 2003. The home
page is now "dynamic" (which just seemed to mean you could read MSN Money
articles on the homepage). Transaction matching has been changed in some
way so it works "better". There's a credit area that gives you your credit
score (with Equifax service, I assume) and some suggestions for managing
your debt load. I didn't see much else.

I think I understand why MS hasn't made any kind of deal out this. I think
it's a VERY minor upgrade for '03 users and they didn't want to incur our
wrath from a major campaign that talked us into shelling out $40 for nothing
new. Looks like it's better suited for '02 and earlier versions. As it is,
I'm waiting until there's a free trial on the webpage, '05 is released, or
Sam's Club gets it for $15 after rebates (how I got '03).

Hope that helps some of you decide.
