A few weeks ago, I posted that Microsoft were going to close their newsgroups and move to a a web based forum for community support.
It is now possible to access this community forum, which can be accessed by going to http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/money.
Some of the MVPs and regular posters from the newsgroup will be there to assist.
Given that Microsoft are no longer producing Money, it is unlikely that any of the Microsoft Money team will be posting there.
About the Microsoft (MS) Money Help, Information and FAQ Website. Information on MSN Money articles and also any news which may be related to either programs, or financial software from Microsoft.

Closing of Microsoft Newsgroups
Beginning in June 2010, Microsoft will begin closing newsgroups and migrating users to Microsoft forums that include Microsoft Answers, TechNet and MSDN. This move will centralize content, make it easier for contributors to retain their influence, reduce redundancies and make content easier to find. Overall, forums offer a better spam management platform that will improve customer satisfaction by encouraging a healthy discussion space.

Microsoft MVP Award 2009
I've just received this email:
To be honest, I was surprised that I received it this year, as my posting to newsgroups was much less than in previous years. I've focussed more on the http://moneymvps.org/ website and this blog as I feel it has a wider reach. In addition, it saves me repeating answers to questions that I have answered before. I've actually been dipping into the newsgroups a lot less recently. I've a number of short articles to write for the website, and I am trying to overhaul some of the product pages to allow me to update them easier and for them to perform better (they retrieve data directly from Amazon, and I am finding their web services a little unreliable).
The MVP award also gives me an invitation to Redmond (which will be in March 2009). I didn't visit this year, and as yet I'm not sure whether I will next at present, due to the uncertain (nay, lack of) job. Sometimes fellow MVPs get to visit the Money team - maybe that'll be possible next year.
Congratulations! We are pleased to present you with the 2009 Microsoft® MVP Award! This award is given to exceptional technical community leaders who actively share their high quality, real world expertise with others.It means that I am now starting my 11th year as a Microsoft MVP.
