 Don't download from MicroSoft April 17, 2006
12 out of 18 found this review helpful
This review refers not to the operation of MS Money 2006 Standard, but warns against attempting to download Money directly from MicroSoft.
1st, Microsoft charges $30.00 for Money 2006 standard.
2nd, after purchase from MS, I was given a link that installed a TRIAL version of 2006 DELUXE. Much web searching, email, and phone conversations later, and a MS rep said, "Yeah, that site keeps putting up the wrong link, and they can't seem to get it fixed"
3rd, I was finally put in touch with an CSR rep who gave me a link that was supposed to allow me to download the program I bought--but it was a broken link.
The CSR then told me to again go their website, re-purchase their program (hoping for different results, presumably), then contact them and ask for a refund on the second purchase.
Moral of the Story: If you need to buy a Microsoft program, I strongly suggest you go to a big box and buy the physical disk. MS just wasted a couple hours of my time.
 Better than Quicken March 25, 2006

After many years of using Quicken, I became frustrated, decided to try something new, and purchased Microsoft Money 2006 Standard edition. My biggest complaint with Quicken was their frequent insistence to upgrade to the newest version, implying that the one I owned was substandard. This year was most annoying, since they are no longer supporting Quicken 2003 and have decided to encourage one to upgrade for a charge of $40!! Well, that was it for me. I read about Money and decided to give it a try. So far, I really like it. It's as easy to use as Quicken and very complete. I went with the standard edition since the add-ons with the more expensive versions were unnecessary for my purposes. It has reports and summaries like Quicken. Also, I connect to their online services to allow easy downloading for my checking, savings, credit card, and investment accounts. My one gripe is that the credit card register does not allow for memo comments. To correct for this, I added more descriptive categories to distinguish more completely among the charges (i.e., the specific details for each job-related purchase).
 Easy to keep track of your accounts! March 19, 2006

Mircrosoft Money 2006 Standard is an easy way to keep track of your money in mulitple accounts. The background banking feature automatically helps you keep track of cleared items and drops them right into your account. Once you set everything up, you can't help but to keep your accounts balanced to the penny!

Very easy to use. I especially like the pie chart that shows your spending for the categories you set up. It will keep track of savings and investments. A budget is easy to set up and you can target certain categories to watch in relation to your budget. This is much easier to use than Quicken.
