MS Money had THE foothold in the home finances software niche for years. With the rise of online finance software such as Mint, and through Quicken’s continual market penetration by connection to TurboTax, Microsoft was forced to close the doors on its Money product.

With banks, brokerage firms and Web sites now providing a range of options for managing personal finances, the consumer need for Microsoft Money Plus has changed. After suspending annual updates of Money Plus in 2008, Microsoft is announcing today that we will no longer offer Microsoft Money Plus for purchase after June 30, 2009.

Microsoft Money Home.
