The good: Microsoft Money Plus Premium 2008 offers new Insights to examine bills and spending; connects to thousands of financial institutions; one-step account updates; access accounts online; now free phone support.
The bad: Ads appear within the interface of Microsoft Money Plus Premium 2008; duplicate accounts are a bear to manage; requires Internet access and Windows Live ID to sign in; Windows only.
The bottom line: Once again, we don't find this upgrade necessary, although some might come to rely upon the new Insights views of finances, and uber-organized users can link transactions to images of checks and receipts.
