MS Money. Solus or as part of a 'package'? Whats the difference?

I'm looking to get an updated copy of MS Money.

Looks like I have 2 choices:
PART OF A BUNDLE for £19.99

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B000CBNV6W/ref=dp_olp_2/026-3888219-9603665?ie=UTF8

OR on its own for £25.99!!!!! ie £5.99 for LESS!!!:confused:

Is it just me? or is there a difference OR a drawback with getting Money as part of the Bundle.......this getting more....for less???

Anyone got any experience/thoughts/ideas on this one?

  • No difference, both are Money 2005 Standard, however the reviews don't look too good.
  • Ok - here is an update.

    I took the plunge - its Money 2005 that is included. (as CM states - Thanks)

    At £19.99 it would be a good buy on its own ( I quite like Money - having been using since 2001 - until I lost all my data + my backup!)

    The fact that it includes the other programmes makes it EXCELLENT value for money - Money 2005 sells for more than £20 SH on Ebay on its own!


    Autoroute 2005 even suppoerts GPS now.

    Wonder why Money 2006 isn't available.

  • Is it because the 'Vista' team are working on it?:D

    Money 2006 has been available in the US for quite awhile now. I just wondered why it's not being sold here.

    Money 2007 is out in the US.....but it's for US only and available for free trial download. They say to wait for an 'international' edition...hmm
    Hard to find anything on the UK site about MS Money...
  • I don't want to Hijack this thread but as you have now bought the product I didn't think it would hurt to ask.

    I've been using MS Money since about Money 98. Unfortunatley I haven't used it for about 12 month now but want to get back into doing my accounts on the computer again.

    Is there a good personal finance package available (similar to MS Money) for the Apple MAC ?
  • Can you not use an Emulator programe to allow you to run Money on the Mac?
