I can use msn money plus and synchronize my portfolio now. The capital
gains module of the Premium product seems to help.

Interesting...not one person in this ng could give a reason to upgrade from
03 to 04.

FWIW,

I think The display in my local CompUSA had MS Money Deluxe for $39.95, and
a $40 rebate when buying with Tax Cut. (But this was December 31, and I try
not to notice such things until after the first of the year.)

and you did not read footnote 3.......

expire two years from first use of Microsoft Money

Anonymous, you're missing the point. You keep screaming about footnote 3;
downloading quotes is essential but insufficient. Once again, the boxes for
"Track your investments" and "Calculate capital gains/losses" are checked for
deluxe and not for standard. If this means no investment reports, cap gains,
portfolios or ROI calcs, then I agree with sjcohen that M2004 standard is no
help with investing.

BTW, who cares if the guy made a typo.... And BTW, your last reply to me
concluded, "this should include mutual funds." Nobody was even asking about that.

Bottom line folks...ignore SJCOHEN730...
purchase desired software to meet your requirements.

Bottom line folks: Money 2004 Deluxe has everything most people want. Premium
is a rip-off and standard won't whelp with investing. If you have a prior
version and are happy with it, then wait for next year. If you don't mind
spending the $20 or so, then update. I would suggest you consider updating when
the new version comes out in the summer, not at this time of year unless you
have an older version. JMHO. Steve

ok...on the chart for:

--standard version
--online services
--2 years
--footnote 3
....downloading stock quotes...

this should include mutual funds.

Footnote 2 states: The Converter Wizard for Quicken® in the U.S. version of
Microsoft Money 2004 Premium will convert files from Quicken U.S. versions
4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, Quicken 2002, and Quicken 2003.

However the check mark is in Microsoft Money 2004 'Standard' as well as the
Premium. Is the footnote in error by not mentioning this? Also, would you
know if the same Converter Wizard for Quicken® is in the Canadian version?
TIA.

On that web page you referenced, the box "Track your investments" (I used the
phrase "investment tracking") is checked for deluxe, but not for standard. Does
that mean no portfolios, investment reports, etc? I believe this would
drastically reduce the usefulness of the standard package.

as the older versions of money.

Mike you're correct. All I see different about Money this year is that it's
been broken out into versions; Standard, Deluxe, and Premium. The Premium is
last years deluxe version for double the money with absolutely no
enhancements...of course, I'm hoping someone can prove me wrong.

Being a software developer I have no problem with upgrading, but I'm having
a problem upgrading from Money 2003 to 2004. Namely I see no changes or
improvements to the software.

Is there anyone that could give a viable reason to upgrade from Money 03 to
04?
