Save up to $300/year on phone bills
Microsoft Money 2003 Deluxe
CNET Rating: 8 out of 10
The good: Intuitive, Web-like interface; includes free e-bill-pay services and tax returns; bundles sophisticated portfolio tools.
The bad: No Mac version; suffers some feature bloat; still requires a Passport account to access some of its features.
The bottom line: Money hasn't made enough improvements for 2002 users to upgrade. Nonetheless, this app is the best money manager for Windows to date.

By Gregg KeizerEvery year, Intuit Quicken outsells Microsoft Money, and there's nothing in Money 2003 Deluxe to change those popularity rankings. With only a few new features--most in the investing arena--there's little reason for current Money users to upgrade. We hate the way Money makes you get a Passport account to access some services, and we fear that the program is getting too big for its britches. But overall, at least until we test the next version of Quicken, Money's attractive interface, first-rate Web integration, and excellent investing tools make it the best personal finance manager that money can buy.
