Finally, I ended up using VMWare and Windows on a Bootcamp partition.
I tried to get it working with Wine and Crossover, but there were too many graphical and stability issues. Then about three years ago I switched to a Mac, and found myself struggling to keep using Microsoft Money as the only Windows program I couldn’t easily replace with an OS X equivalent.
(There actually has been one patch released, but I encourage you to read Raymond Chen’s version of the patch, because it scores some serious cool geek points.) 🙂įortunately, Microsoft released a free version of Microsoft Money Plus that continues to work in all modern versions of Windows. Of course, having almost two decades worth of data recorded in Money made it very sticky for me, too. I just found its workflow works better for me. I’ve always found Money better than many other alternatives I’ve tried - including the ever-popular Quicken.
I’ve been a user of Microsoft Money since 1995, so I was always a little bit sad when Microsoft sunset support for the application in 2011.
