Microsoft has announced the discontinuation of Microsoft Money. Now, I understand that they have been reducing investment in Money for some time now. They don’t even make versions for Canada and other countries anymore. Still, I originally chose Money based on the (mistaken) belief that Microsoft will support it and not leave me out in the cold. There’s also the issue of Quicken (back then) being extremely annoying in an attempt to get people to upgrade.

I wouldn’t say I miss Microsoft money. It has never been super convenient. It doesn’t automatically download transactions from any of my banks except ING Direct. I know Microsoft Money still works fine as is, but at some point, I will have to move on. But what choices are there? Quicken? Mint.com? GnuCash?
