Sad day for me. I’ve been using Microsoft Money to pay my bills online since 1995. Over the years, I’ve decided on what banks to use based on whether they supported Microsoft Money. Guess I’ll have to start using Quicken. Here's the official announcement:
Important notice: Microsoft Money Plus will not be available for purchase after June 30, 2009. All purchased Money Plus products must be activated prior to Jan. 31, 2011.
With banks, brokerage firms and Web sites now providing a range of options for managing personal finances, the consumer need for Microsoft Money Plus has changed. After suspending annual updates of Money Plus in 2008, Microsoft is announcing today that we will no longer offer Microsoft Money Plus for purchase after June 30, 2009.
Granted, I still have a year and a half until support drops off, but I’m really saddened they decided to discontinue it, it was a really good product, and one of the few that Microsoft delivered on time, year in and year out.
