I bought this software program together with TaxCut a few months ago, and it is a great disappointment. Unfortunately, I was too busy to give it a try earlier, so now I can't get all my money back from Amazon. Do yourself a favor and buy something else.
Utter disappointment! April 11, 2007

I have been a Microsoft Money user for many, many years. (Going back to Money '98? I forget.) I reluctantly upgraded to Money 2007 Premium earlier this year from Money 2004 when I read somewhere that Money 2004 was no longer going to be supported. (I also read that Money 2005, Money 2006, and Money 2007 had issues. Hence my reluctance to upgrade.)
For years, I have sync'ed Money with my online accounts on nearly a daily basis. I'm that kind of focused on keeping my eye on my money, and Money has historically served me very well in this habit. Money 2007 does not.
Since installing it, I have:
1) Battled with my prior bank for nearly two months to get them to figure out by Money 2007 does not synchronize with their systems.
2) Installed and reinstalled Money 2007 on several different workstations to test the synchronization issue with my years-old Money file and new, empty Money files. Always fails.
3) Now I have *switched banks* thinking the syncing issue was my bank's fault. It wasn't. It's Microsoft Money's fault.
Syncing fails *every* time with a helpful OBRES 22063 error. Oh, yea, that
one! We all know just what that is.
I have read every Microsoft knowledge base article I can find. I have perused public.microsoft.money and other usenet groups. I have Googled. I have read blogs. The only thing I find is that lots of people have this problem with lots of different financial institutions, and Microsoft is doing nothing about it
In Money 2004, this worked flawlessly nearly every time. Why did it
break?!?!!
So if you're looking to have Money synchronize with your accounts online, look elsewhere. But if you're all about putting everything in manually, this product will serve you just fine.
Buy a copy of Quicken instead!
Really bad product April 9, 2007

I had read some of the negative reviews and decided to use the trial before buying anything. I used the fully functional trial of Microsoft Money 2007. I think it was the worst software product I have ever used.
1) Updates with scottrade , bank of america do not work
2) Try adding a investment portfolio (hehe good luck)
3) Import for .QIF files does not work (From scottrade)
4) For some strange reason, at times Money cannot connect to the internet , even though every other windows program can. (And it isnt because the time on the computer is wrong)
5) Microsofts confidence in their own product can be seen by the fact that they prompt you to save the entire Money account into a different snapshot every time you close Money. :)
6) For some reason, Money is setup like a web application. Not a desktop application. This isnt a major beef, just that it feels a bit slower.
7) Loads of other reasons , which I am unable to point out since I am writing this review from a Linux machine
So in short, even if youre sick and tired of quicken, and want to get some Money love on the rebound, have a one night stand with Money 2007 in the form of a trial before you put your hard earned cash down for this truly crappy product.
Trash! April 5, 2007

I have been using this program for five years now and I'm finally going to switch to Quicken. The 'Invoice Designer' is a total waste of time... it just hasn't worked for years and Microsoft will do NOTHING to get it to work. This is the unwanted step child of Microsoft, so please don't waist your time!
 Beware of using the Downloaded version! March 30, 2007
I'm not sure how the cd works, but I installed the downloaded version of Money 2007 Deluxe on a dual-boot machine. I have been using Vista along with my beloved XP Pro because there are no drivers available for my pro-sumer audio card. So I switch back and forth. Money installed fine on one OS, but when I went to install on the other...no dice. It says it has been installed on the maximum number of computers and won't allow another install. I build and change systems as often as changing my Fruit of The Looms (and that's pretty often). Does the cd-rom version do this too? Someone please e-mail me and let me know. It's funny...Vista will let you run it's OS for a whole 30 days without a serial number (read: frequent partition formats!) but I can't run Money on more than one machine. Go Microsoft! - idiots.
