Microsoft Money Replacement

[Matrix]

I heard a year or so ago that MSMoney was going to be discountinued but I thought it was a joke. It appears this weekend is the first of many of the services being turned off with all services being shut off in Jan 2011.

Anybody using any good financial software to manage your accounts, bills, investments, etc?

Thanks.

Sux0rs, I guess they lost out to Quicken/Quickbooks.

I guess not everything Bill Gates comes up with is perfect....

I have been using Quicken for over 10 years and am quite satisfied. I am probably only using 25% of what it is capable of. While they do an update every year you only really need to update every 3 years or so.

I switched from Money to Quicken about 6 months ago. While initially it seemed less user friendly than Money, I am finally used to it. It seems to have more capabilities and I am pretty happy with it. I tried using Mint, but it was not sophisticated enough for what I want to do.

Now for a little on topic (somewhat) humor. All this talk about Money made me think of the modern Abbott and Costello routine:
