Microsoft Cancels "Money"

Microsoft is discontinuing its Money Program June 30, so any copies you have now are going to be it. They won't sell any more.

Now Money is not a great program, but I have been using various versions of it for eight years and am used to it. And since all I use it for is bookkeeping and checkbook balancing it wasn't worth the hassle to learn a new package. Sheer momentum and comfort kept me with it for most of a decade.

I guess after my current PC bites the dust I will have to move to Quicken.

 

Update: MS posted a free "sunset" version of the program that people can use in perpetuity - as long as it stays compatible with the operating system.
