Wow I started using Microsoft Money back I think back in 1998 when I got a free copy from a Discover Card promotion. After over a decade of use, it looks like the software is going bust. Here is a link to the MS Money Product page with the 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.
Im a little ticked that this is going to force me to migrate to a new platform to track my personal finances. I think that is literally going to mean at least a weekend lost in trying to get up and running on something else. I never really loved the software, but we have come to depend on it to track all our transactions and I would be lost without it.
I currently have MSMoney 2007 which I believe is only good for 2 years and will expire later this year. I guess the next question is should I go run out and buy 1 more copy of MS Money to extend the amount of time to make the transition. However according to the Announcement FAQs Microsoft does not recommending upgrading from MS Money 2007 to the latest version before sales end - hmm.
