Microsoft Kills the MONEY Product Line
Jun 24th, 2009 by MrGroove
Last night I opened up my copy of MS Money only to be alerted by Microsoft that they will be ending future development on the product.
About 10 years ago I got a free copy of Microsoft Money from a friend at Microsoft so I made the switch from Intuit Quicken… oops
Intuit is obviously trying to cash in on the deal by advertising what appears to be a discount on their main page for existing MS Money customers. After a few clicks however I discovered it’s just creative marketing. As you can see from the shots below, the so-called discount is the standard list price offered to anyone on the website…
So-called “MS Money” Discounts: Guy off the street prices:
Not trying to make a big deal about this, just found the Intuit/Quicken marketing a bit creative… and yes, I’ll be grabbing a copy of Quicken off EBAY and performing the conversion. I’m hoping I don’t hit the 10,000 transaction limit on the Quicken Conversation tool. If I do, i’ll just have to wait for the update mentioned in the screenshot.
