MSN vs Money

What exactly is the option to "use Money on MSN" all about? I'm trying to
nail down a way to run Money on my work and home machines. If I can run
Money from home and have web access to add registry entries and look at
balances that might fit the bill too.

To do that, put a Passport on your file. Then make sure that
Tools->Settings->AccessYourMoneyDataOnTheWeb is enabled.

Then go to
http://moneycentral.msn.com/scripts/webquote.dll?iPage=pmx
and sign in with the same Passport.

Uhm, I'm not sure what I'm looking at here. It's a portfolio screen - only I
have no portfolio. How do I get to my savings/checking/credit card registers
this way?

TIA

Money on MSN is two things: an ad delivery engine with financial content
they hope will be sufficient to entice you there to be exposed to the ads.
Second, it's another way to move your data to and fro, not to move the
application to and fro. (Most people don't seem to think the latter is a
requirement.) Basically, it puts a subset of your data on the web and
provides a web client to look at it and update it and a scheme to sync it
back to your one data file on your one machine. It is NOT a way to transfer
your data or the application from Machine A through MSN to Machine B.

If you click on "My Money" or
(https://moneycentral.msn.com/banking/moneyplushome.asp) you should
be able to see other accounts. However it may only be good for third
party online accounts. I don't use this feature myself. Let us know
what you learn.
