Quicken or Money

[agaraffa]

It's time for me to upgrade my home finance software. I've been using Quicken for several years. However, I'm not that impressed with their online banking features (downloading checking account transactions, etc.) Does anyone have any experiences with Microsoft Money? Let me know what your opinions are.

Thanks,

I switched to money 2000 after trying to install Quicken 2000 and it installed IE4 on my system. That made quite a mess since I was already using IE5. After fixing that mess I made the switched. I really don't use all of the features that come with Money 2000 but it does keep my checking account and credit cards balanced. The only problem is my bank is still in the dark ages and has not gotten onto the web yet.

Quicken 2001 is the ONLY way.
It will only install IE 4.0 if you have that checked in the options.
Make sure its unchecked and your fine.

QUicken is soooo much nicer than Money. (well MS Money, not REAL Money).

I only use Quicken 2000 to track my stock investments, and, have not been impressed with the "user-friendliness". My feeling is that it should be easier and much more user-configurable. I'm about to try Money 2000.

Homerboy, do you have experience with Quicken stock tracking? I would welcome your comments.

I think that Money is better

Intuit's website shows that Quicken2001 is compatible with Win95/98/NT but no mention of ME. Does anyone know if Intuit is ME friendly?
