 I'm sticking with Money 2004 June 10, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I have downloaded and used the demo on two separate occasions now (I'm a slow learner I guess). Both times ended in frustration and my reinstallation of Money 2004. The interface isn't nearly as intuitive as 2004. When I set up my mortgage, the ammoratization schedule was completely wrong. The catagories are not nearly as nice or extensive as 2004. I really tried to like Money 2006, but between the bugs and the frustration it is a step backwards from Money 2004. I strongly reccomend trying before buying.
Like Money Express from the old version? Don't buy this. June 6, 2006

I had Money 2004, and loved its "Money Express" feature. It was the icon in the system tray that displayed your upcoming bills and/or deposits whenever you logged on to the computer. Very handy for letting you know when bills were coming due.
I upgraded to Money 2006 Deluxe recently, and found out that Microsoft did away with this feature. Now I'm asking myself why I wasted my money.
One usually assumes that when you upgrade to the latest version, you'll get more features, not less. What's that expression about assuming???
Please try before you buy. May 20, 2006

I ordered this item, and before the CD arrived, I downloaded it from the msn website to try it out (Thanks to the advice given one of the other reviews here). The software installed well, but would not let me log in because it would not recognize my 'passport'. I went over my passport ID, changed it, etc, and ... well, the same problem. I then created a new email ID, new passport ID, and .. well, it still would not let me log in. I cannot understand the logic of selling a piece of software whose functioning is linked to something outside. What is Microsoft thinking?? Do they want everyone to start using Hotmail (and other MSN services) merely because they want to get Money? I tried all the tricks suggested on their passport website (turned off my cookie/pop-up blocker, etc), but still no luck. I tried logging into Money after a day, in case the passport ID needed some time to be recognized - still no luck. So, I actually spent a total of 2+ hours, trying to get in to try the software, and it would not let me. So, frustrated, I un-installed the software, and then cancelled my order. I am amazed that Microsoft would allow such a situation to be created - but then, knowing how dysfunctional MS office and Windows can sometimes be, I am not surprised. My advice - PLEASE download the trial software before you place an order here.
I wish I could give my experience a negative score (minus 4 seems appropriate for what I went through).

I'm a MS Money 2003 owner, and was sorely disappointed with '06. First of all, the detailed budget feature was broken with no hope for a patch from MS, and it looks like MS actually removed functionality. It was promptly returned.....

Number 1 Concern: why do they need you to sign into Passport everytime? There is absolutely no explanation for it except for a vague and disturbing "privacy policy". I downloaded the trial version and was extremely disappointed. Absolutely nothing worked and I am very knowledgeable about software and all it's quirks. PLEASE do not waste your money.
