Microsoft Money 2000 Deluxe Full Version for PC (860-00073)

Pros: took Quicken's features and perfected them (web, setup and more)
Cons: IE installation required

If you like me and move all your banking activity from the teller to a combination of web-banking, phone-banking and ATMs (ordered by preference!) then Microsoft Money 2000 or Intuit's Quicken is something you should check out. I think there is no other...

Pros: Easy installation, web integration, intuitive wizards.
Cons: Budget tracking is complex. Navigation sometimes confusing.

Money 2000 is such a big improvement over previous versions that it is now a little better than Quicken - the previous leader in the field of personal finance software. Money 2000 also comes with an improved setup program that makes it a lot easier to...

Pros: Simple to use, gratifying to use
Cons: No auditing functions, reports could be more customizable, needs more fields.

Like most busy people today, we have numerous credit cards, loans, savings and checking accounts, and other investment accounts. It's amazing that while our lives get more financially complicated, the tools that we use to keep track of our money are not...

Pros: Great help feature, fun to use, graphs and reminders.
Cons: None yet, I'll keep you posted.

Why didn't I do this sooner? Money 2000 Deluxe came as part of a software package on my HP Pentium desktop. It then sat, unused, for three months. After using Quicken I was not looking forward to the tedious task of logging all my expenses. Quicken's...

Pros: Easy to use and strong Web integration
Cons: None so far

Microsoft Corp. has long been working on its Quicken-killer program, and after all those years of playing catch up, Microsoft Money 2000 Deluxe is finally poised to dethrone the king. The result doesn't necessarily slay the Intuit dragon, but it's a...

Pros: Neat graph feature
Cons: Too disorganized and too many new features.

I have been a dedicated user of MS Money 99 for over two years. It was one of my husband's additions to the marriage and since I am in charge of the house, I am also in charge of the finances.

A few months ago, my hubby brought the latest...

Pros: easy to use
Cons: none

I recently purchased MS Money to help me keep track of my finances. It seemed that somehow month after month I would wind up spending more than I was earning. I could not figure out how, I was trying hard to cut back my spending but I could not figure...

Pros: Easy to use - multifunctional
Cons: Be careful what information you ask for - you might get it

Ask me why I know that I spent exactly $166.30 at Starbucks in May...(yes, you read that right - I am a coffee junkie)

Microsoft Money 2000 gives you all the things you'd expect from any reasonably...

Pros: Low price, very intuitive.
Cons: Sometimes tries to do too much automatically.

Pros: Intuitive, Full-featured, great for investments
Cons: Planner doesn' t work, help is terrible, too integrated with MSN services

I had to admit it; in the past, whenever I bought a personal finance software package, I went through the "Quickening." I've gone through it before a couple of times with other personal finance packages, but this time was MUCH smoother, due to...

Pros: Very intuitive, easy to use, powerful investment tracking
Cons: Good at keeping track of money, but is not a true accounting system

Okay, so the title is a bit dramatic. But this software has made me change the way I look at budgeting and financial management. The impact on my life truly has been dramatic.

Pros: Keep your finances in control
Cons: A few "issues"

I like Microsoft software interfaces (from Windows 95 onwards) -- they are innovative and user friendly. When I used Quicken 98 (ages ago) I was annoyed by the use of Enter key for moving between the fields. It is so.. not Windows. Similarly companies...

Pros: Nice reports, quick, for the most part accurate.
Cons: Very inaccurate predictions, takes awhile to get used to.

When I first got my computer I was so excited about this Money program coming with it. That was probably one of the first things I used.

I love the fact that it tracks my spending. I can see areas where I need to get...
