MS Money- Is this legit?

sambessey

Hi

I am looking to buy MS Money. In true MSE style, I am using some shopping comparison tools to try and secure it at the best rate. Froogle throws up a few sites selling it for a crazily priced £20 (http://www.lambda-tek.com/componentshop/index.pl?origin=froogle6&prodID=B30746) Are these legit copies?

Thanks

Money 2005 sucks big time.

I am looking at 2006.

What's wrong with 2005?

You can't get 2006 in UK. Not compatible. I've got 2005 ( £12 from pcworld). Had 2002 before that. No complaints from me.

Well how come some shops are selling it? is it an American version? How do you mean it is not compatible?

Thanks

At the time I bought it ( feb I think), I emailed microsoft and they told me it wasn't compatible with UK banks( for downloads I suppose). I'll be gutted if they've told me wrong and have now launched a uk version. Bummer!

Pc World are still selling 2005 version but price seems to have gone up:
