I've been using MS Money 2003 for a number of years together with Ultrasoft
Money on my Palm PDA.

I've now purchased a new PC which will come with Vista pre-installed. Given
MS uk's lack of support for the Money product line does anyone have any
experience of possible alternatives to Money that are either open source or
less likely to be left to wither on the vine?

I'm aware of GnuCash, Personal Accountz and Moneydance as possibilities does
any one have any experience with these or other products?

TIA

That's roughly it. However, you can use Money 2003 on vista, which wouldn't
be any expense at all, so long as you have the installation disk
