There are a lot of implications regarding the discontinuation of Microsoft Money. Such as 'what happens next', 'upgrade paths' etc.
Some FAQ's can be found on the moneymvps.org website:
In addition to these, a number of other questions or comments will be unclear. Above all, remember that even though the product may be discontinued, you can still use it. In January 2011, aggregated bank downloads and quotes are likely to be turned off, but most other features should continue to work.

moneymvps.org temporarily out of action
Just a heads-up that moneymvps.org has been experiencing difficulties today, and isn't quite working properly at present.
Seems to just hang and then throw an error. However, people are on the case and hopefully normal service will be resumed shortly.
When it comes back, I hope it'll be faster, as I've taken the time to put on a few code updates. If it keeps erroring beyond 10pm GMT (2pm PST) then it'll probably be the morning by the time I fix it.

MSN Money May Site update
The MSN Money website was updated yesterday.
The updates were very minor and caused little, if any downtime.
The most significant change was the replacement of the "Basic" Portfolio with an updated version (this has been available for preview for the past two months).

New articles to moneymvps.org in recent weeks
Haven't done one of these updates in a while, so below is a list of new articles to the http://moneymvps.org/ site in recent weeks (well, months).
I have a few articles which are on my list to write, but any suggestions for new ones are always welcome. Don't forget I am based in the UK, so things such as IRAs, the US tax system etc may prove difficult for me to write. However, submitted articles (so long as they fit in the general ethos of the site) are welcome.
The date below is the date I created the article. It may have gone through a revision since the original creation date.

moneymvps.org website currently unavailable
The FAQ website at http://moneymvps.org is currently unavailable and has been down since 7:20pm UK time this evening.
I did a few code updates to reduce the compilation time, and seem to have hung the site... Because it is remotely hosted, I need to get someone to reset it for me, which may not be quick :(
In the meantime, please use the MSN or Google cache to view it.
Maybe in the morning, it will be working again. I hope so...
....update 11:15pm.....just back up now. Just under 4 hours downtime. Must not complain, at least I can go to sleep without worrying it was still unavailable.

Money 2006 with Windows Mobile Device Center on Vista
My Xbox360 is broken - three red lights of death appear on the console, and it is already at the repair centre. Hopefully things will be fixed because it has been great fun over the last year.
So, in the meantime, I decided to go through my 'to do' list for the Money site, and I came across one that was entitled 'Registry Fix for MS Money 2006 and MS Money for PocketPC 2006 in Windows Vista with Windows Mobile Device Center' - wow... long title name, but says exactly what it's about. I'd had it in my to do list for quite a while, but managed to get around to putting it online
This article was written by scottyfunshack@hotmail.com, who had fixed an issue using said programs (MS Money 2006, MS Money for POcket PC 2006, Windows Vista and Windows Mobile Device Center).
It also addresses some issues what some people have had with errors in ActiveDsk.dll (see FAQ Article 486.
As always, articles related to MS Money and its associated programs are always welcome. There is a contact link at the base of each of my FAQ site pages.

moneymvps.org website down again
Hi
The moneymvps.org website is down again today. It's been out of action now for a couple of hours.
Looks like it could be down a few more hours yet, so if you need articles in the meantime, you may need to go to the google cache (do a search on google, find the page on my website, and then press 'cached' to read it).
MY apologies. I've been trying to get things back up for the last two hours, but I don't think it can be fixed without intervention from the server administrators.
I possibly may have to start looking for some alternative hosting, but would prefer not, as i'll have to change the URL if I do :(
Update 10pm: seems like we're back in business. Let's hope so as I have an early flight in the morning and would prefer the site back up for the next 4 days before I come back
