So, after using Microsoft Money Plus Home and Business, I found it to be a rather robust program. The reporting methods, categorizing, connections into the financial institutions, etc. are excellent. I have been a user of both quicken (for business) and money (for personal) for years. I am glad they have finally merged the two properly.
It meets the needs of my small business as well as my personal finance and investments. I would recommend to anyone.
As for the review from C:
I am finding the user rating system on Amazon becoming less and less useful by the day. Charles gives the software a bad rating, not because of his experience with the functionality of the product, but the time line in which the BETA and the production version were released. There are reasons why they call it BETA and you should have known the risks prior to using it as a production software. Just because Microsoft didn't release the final version prior to your BETA trial running out, you mark the software with 1 star. As for the claim that it doesn't let you convert the data to Quicken or Money 2006 is flat out wrong, I have been able to do both (I guess that must have been one of the features not available in the BETA version). Additionally, why are you writing a review on here if you haven't purchased the FULL VERSION of the product. In actuality, you didn't use the software on which you are reviewing, you were using a BETA version.
Finally, I am tired of hearing users complain about MS and how Vista and Office 2007 are bad products just because they weren't adept enough to figure it out and were unwilling to hit the F1 key and read. Enough of my rant, hopefully others are getting sick of this on these reviews as well.

I purchased this product July 2007, and could not get it to accept the activation key code. Microsoft gave little to no help with this problem. The time period expired and would not let me enter new transactions into the accounts. I tried to remove and reinstall per Microsoft's instructions but to no avail. Phone support only gave me more phone numbers to call, and the program is still not working. Please do not waste your money on this program, but try Quicken Home and Business instead.
 Microsoft did it again January 19, 2008

I've been a Money user for several years. I started with Money 2003, then I jumped to Money 2005. My initial experiences are really not bad. Actually, they are indeed good. Good reporting, good categories catalog, easy to use, helpful, etc. But this last version, at some point in time, started to fail by not exporting my reports to Excel in the correct way. It exported everything messed up as text. Then I decided to upgrade to Money Plus Home and Business expecting to get this thing resolved. Well, it didn't. Besides it opens up in a very sloooow way. I don't know what this software does in the background but it is indeed very slow. Money 2005 wasn't that way. Besides it happened I had a problem with backing up my financial file. It showed an error in the path. By the way, that's the path where the original file is located so it is absurd it cannot find it.
I said MS did it again because I have very bad experiencies with Vista and Office 2007. I don't know what is happening to MS but this, Money Home and Business is definitely my last official purchase of MS products.
( I already started to work on the Mac environment, by the way .... other world ).
Money Plus Trashes Your Data May 24, 2008

Microsoft Money Plus Home and Business
I switched from Money 2006 to Money Plus last year when only the beta version was available. When it was almost time for the beta version to expire, I tried to buy the new program. Unfortunately it was not yet for sale, nor would it be for several months. When the beta expired, the program was only good for viewing data. The new data format of Money Plus made it impossible to export the data to Quicken or back to Money 2006. I was left with the choices of (1) going back to Money 2006 and manually inputting all the data since I switched to Plus, (2) not using any accounting software while I waited for Money Plus to become available, (3) switch to Quicken. Since I was starting over anyway, I decided that was a good time to switch to Quicken.
Like an earlier reviewer, I have other issues with Microsoft (which used to be my favorite software company). Office 2007 Pro has a totally unfamiliar interface and Outlook 2007 is the most unstable program I've ever used, even after upgrading XP to SP3 and Office to SP1. Bill Gates needs to go back to work and fix his company.
can't install-Money Home/Business August 3, 2008

I have spent 2 hours troubleshooting why this program will not install and another 2 hours on the phone with a Microsoft tech, who couldn't figure it out either. They said that this problem is common, yet they don't have answers. They were suppose to escalate the ticket to a supervisor, but no one has contacted us yet (after 2 weeks!!).
Still not able to use the program and it is delaying my personal and business financial planning. Don't know what to do next.
