Strengths: All the strengths of previous versions

Weaknesses: A few annoyances; not that different from previous versions.

Summary: I've been a Money user for almost 10 years. My first version was Money 2000 and I didn't feel an absolute need to upgrade until now. Money is a great tool to organize finances, and this version is pretty good. There are more shortcuts than my previous versions for faster data entry. However, there are a few annoyances that I'm still struggling with. I can't seem to assign a category to dividends paid into an investment account. Online services are not as intuitive as my old version, resulting in multiple accounts that can't be deleted.I'll probably wait 5+ years for my next upgrade.

Strengths: Has invoice feature I didn't have before in my old version

Weaknesses: got an error but it may be my computer instead of the software.

Summary: I had an old 2001 Microsoft Money and upgraded to this because I needed invoicing capabilities. So far so good with it - I like all the added features that I have now and even though I got some type of an error when testing out invoicing I believe that was due to my computer instead of the software.

Strengths: Easy to install, easy to use. Great online updating

Weaknesses: If you use the trial for a newer software, you cant go back to older versions once it converts your files

Summary: Excellent product. I love the way it updates all my bank accounts, ira's, stocks and even my mortgage accounts. Makes my life simple. I have set up the budgeting portion too and it is so easy to use. Interface is refined and easy to navigate.
