I have had problems with the file updating from Money 2004. Deposits look
like deposits, but in the running balance for the account they are
calculated as withdrawals; mysterious investment accounts appeared in my
portfolio (with Vanguard, which others seem to have had problems with);
account starting balances were changed.
Fortunately, I had a backup and went back to Money 2004. I removed my
accounts from MSN Money and removed my passport from my Money file. Then
the updating goes better, but I still had to adjust the starting balance of
one of my accounts because Money changed it. However, if I try to put my
accounts back in MSN Money, those mysterious Vanguard accounts appear again.
For now, I'm still using 2004 and may switch if I hear reports that these
problems are addressed. My larger concern is that I might switch and be
unaware of changes that Money made to my accounts during the upgrade. I'd
hate to start using 2005 for a couple months and find some big problems I
didn't happen to notice earlier.
