Money "Plus"

Is this Money 2008?

(Yearly question) Why should I change to "plus" from 2006? The on-line
sales info is written for and by children, it seems (as usual from M$).

I'm sorry for not scanning the newsboard to get answer my question before I
posted. So "Plus" == "2008", and a lot of people are griping.

So, can someone in the know document the differences (objectively)? Right
now the only think I see of value is maintaining the on-line updates a couple
years more. Really, does anybody really think that MS's advise on budgeting
is going to be headed except by a brain-numbed 20-something? I don't want to
pay extra for that sort of 'info'.

Fixed the spinoff.

Several other bugs fixed.

Allows background banking with or without LiveID.

Only "third party" data goes thru MSN. Other stays on your computer
or your FIs.

Has optional "Insights" to alert to upcoming bills and cashflow.

Backups to USB flash drive honor number of copies setting, and can
write to drives with more than 2 GB free.

Some things feel faster moving between windows, such as Account-List
<-> Portfolio..

Not as critical a change as from M05 to M06 which first offered
multiple backups, but they are functional changes. Human interface
looks mostly the same.

New is an activation process which limits you to two installs.
