About the Microsoft Money Product
In the US, there are three boxed products available for Microsoft Money. These are the
Money Plus Home and Business,
Money Plus Premium
and
Money Plus Deluxe versions. In addition, there is a Money Plus Essentials edition,
which is an online version of the software (you are required to be online to use it). The product naming changed for
the 2008 release, and the new name "Money Plus" is, in all intents and purposes, the equivalent of Money 2008.
Information on Money Plus can be found in various locations on this site. You can check the timeline at
Article 405. System
requirements can be found at
Article 489
and what's new in it at
Article 500.
In the UK there is now only one version (the Deluxe version was withdrawn from sale in late 2005) -
Money UK 2005 Standard version. Other regions also only have one version
(including Canada -
Money Canada 2006 Standard version). The links below
point to pages which show summaries of the most recent versions.
Comparison charts can be found on the
features article page.
In addition, there are a number of other regionalized versions, namely French, Japanese, Canadian and an
'International' version. The international version is an English edition sold in New Zealand, Australia and
some other locations which is like the other Microsoft Money versions, but has all of the localizations for
other countries removed - it could be described as a 'bare' version of Microsoft Money, as it includes core
features and relatively few, if any, customizations.

Microsoft's Money Home Pages
Microsoft have some pages on their site which has some additional information for each region.
There may be one or two other countries with pages, but as the number of different country versions of Money dwindles, these are being removed.
