Quicken vs MS Money

Let me think........... This is a Quicken news group.................. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

From reading the group, though, I find that Intuit have built-in a hobble to stop Quicken reading open financial exchange files. Those are the modern downloads that make it hard to duplicate transactions. Quicken will read their own version - Quicken Financial Exchange - if your bank pays to sign-up. So really it's up to your bank to buy quicken and not up to you. If they have done so it's a good programme.

Oh come on....the OP is asking about Quicken and where better to ask than from Q. users. It's up to the OP to decide if the info he gets is helpful.

And BTW, why are you on AOL and paying more for the internet? I guess it's all a matter of perspective isn't it.

Drum-

Not that it's any of your business, but I pay $7.95 a month for AOL........ How's that for a "perspective" ????

BTW, WTF does that have to do with anything??????

I didn't ask how much you pay, I asked why? And all you had to do was say you'd rather not answer. As for "none of your business" I don't really care anyway.

My point was and is simply that the OP asked a question about Quicken in a Quicken newsgroup...and the AOL comment was meant as a comparison that some people don't believe in paying AOL to provide what they can get cheaper elsewhere....such as $4.95 from Bellsouth internet.

It IS all a matter of perspective and what's important to you...

I think the original post had to do with a functional comparison, not price. Quicken and MS Money are in the same ball-park, price-wise. Besides, the functionality is the first thing one should be concerned with; if a program doesn't do the job for you, it doesn't matter how cheap (or even free!) it is!
