Ignoring my flippant answer ;-)
In an ideal world I would agree, but the problem is that import of
information isn't as simple as just changing colors on a screen. There's the
matching algorithm and subsequent windows , the display of information in
the register, the use of OFC in the account lists and then, the clincher, if
you don't remove it, someone is going to continually use it as infinitum and
it becomes too expensive to support and maintain. Testing would need to
occur for this part each time due to code changes and the interdependencies
of the parts of the product.
There are people out there using dos and stuff from well before that - I
can't see MS wanting to carry on supporting them for another 5-10 years and
perhaps now, with the Yodlee stuff, MS have decided enough is enough. Over
here in the UK, we have less banks which provide statements so it's not
really a problem for us, but you at least have a lot more competition in the
banking sector which encourages banks to use more up to date stuff and so
customers asking for banks for things like that has more chance of working
(probably not a lot, but you can vote with your feet more than we can). And,
of course, there is no need to upgrade to 2005 at this time, unless your
online services have run out on a previous version.
Money unfortunately has gone through a lot more iterations than Word has,
and because it's a consumer product, i'd reckon that they are more likely to
remove stuff because the business community is a lot louder than us.
