On July 5, Microsoft will ship Microsoft Money 2006 to consumers. Microsoft Money 2006 provides new online banking tools and an all-in-one solution for consumers seeking to manage their finances.

"Money 2006 was designed to build on the rising trend of online banking by offering all of the consumer's financial information in one easy-to-use location," says Anne Quaranta, the senior product manager for Microsoft Money. "With the tools and information Money 2006 provides, consumers now have a complete view of where their money is and has been, and understand where it is going."

Money 2006 includes an enhanced spending tracker for managing expenses, the ability to pay bills from multiple accounts, and greatly improved investment tracking features. As with Microsoft Digital Image Suite 2006, consumers can preorder Money 2006 starting today at Amazon.com.

Money 2006 Standard Edition will retail for $29.95, while Money 2006 Deluxe Edition will cost $59.95. A Small Business Edition will cost $89.95. Each of these products will come with various rebate amounts, however.

Hope MS doesn't let the date slip like shoehorn. Money 2006 coming out in 2008 would not be good.

after the disaster that was ms money 2005, you can bet i will wait till the reviews... THE REAL USER reviews (not the stamp of approval cnet kind) come out. last year the program promised day 1 compatibility with HUNDREDS of more banks and brokerages then they EVER DELIVERED in the entire year after it was released. further bugs caused data corrpution, errors etc. and were never properly patched.

while quicken has tremendous flaws of its own, microsoft continues to drop the ball in a huge, huge way with the money product when they would have a chance to attack quicken if only they devoted the resources to make a program that wasn't vaporware on half the features, and crippleware on the ones that do show up.

buyer beware.

I just bought Money 2005...What crap, if they are going to release annually, make it a subscription!

They have been doing annual releases for 5 years if not more and it always ships around the same time. Maybe you should pay more attention

I hope Microsoft offers to buy, Money 2006 in other languages.

Money 2005 is crap. Even the Microsoft support people said that you can expect data corruption with a .mny file over 10Mb. I am sticking with Money 2004 until it is very clear that 2006 is a solid release.
