After 12 years of use I share the angst and disappointment of loyal Money users round the world at being abandoned by Microsoft on this important software. It is exacerbated by the lack of alternatives that pack
the features of MS Money. I've resigned myself to soldiering on using the program till it somehow no longer works; although soon it appears that we will loose the automatic-pricing-update feature, requiring us to manually update our portfolios (I appreciate
there are work-rounds being developed that will fill the gaps that Microsoft leaves us with).
Not sure how the software business works, but can't someone buy the rights to the software from Microsoft and somehow keep it going? If the answer is “no, not possible”, what surprises me is that there
does not seem to be any company stepping forward to deliver consumers something robust to migrate to. Are there no software entrepreneurs willing to take the opportunity to develop a top-notch, no compromises Money alternative; something even BETTER than MS
Money?
Thanks for allowing me to ask my questions and vent my frustrations.
