Microsoft Money 2006 Premium Description:

Microsoft Money 2006 Premium review:
5 stars (Microsoft Money Review) - The overall experience is great. It would be excellent the rebate can deduct directly from checking out.
4 stars (Nice features - fairly good buy) - I've been using Money 2007 Deluxe and I read an article that recommended that unless there are some obviously good features in a new version of Money - you only need to buy the new version every two or three years. The reason being is that after a while Microsoft does not make the patches and fixes available for download and over the last two years I've had to re-install Money 2007 that I know I don't get the updates anymore.



Since Money 2007 didn't provide any significant features (of interest to me) I've decided to try Money 2006 Premium this year. I've been using it for the last three weeks and it has been a nice surprise. Are there any (great) new features that compells an existing user of Money to upgrade - nope. But the biggest feature that I like is the online integration - something that Microsoft started doing with the 2007 product.



It's so cool to have Money 2006 automatically go out to all my bank accounts and get the latest information and all I have to do is review and accept. Much less painful that my manual entries and then having to log into my bank accounts and verify that payments have been processed.



As to the other posts regarding having problems ... it's been an easy install for me and linking to my MSN account has also been a breeze. I've had no problems with it so far - and even syncing to my palm with Ultrasoft has been just as stable.


3 stars (What's new?) - I have been using Money for years and use most of the features. After installing Money 2006 I had a difficult time finding anything different from the 2007 version. I think it is a good product but certainly not worth upgrading from the 2007 version. If you have 2007 version you might as well stick with it. I can't tell the difference between the two.
