Other than Quicken which has a whole host of usability issues, there is no replacement. Banks/brokers proide some aggregation and some portfolio services but do very poorly on budgeting, Mint etc may do ok with budgeting with fare poorly on investments. Unless MS has some kind of cloud service coming, I think there is going to be a gap in this space! I plan on using Money till the lack of support, downloads makes it unusable.

I think they did the correct thing. However, bank online services do not replace the need for a central store of financial information. Quicken (desktop), Quicken Online, Mint.com and other online services, not tied directly to financial institutions, can and will thrive. Joe:
