=?Utf-8?Q?Why_doesn=E2=80=99t_Microsoft_Market_Mon?==?Ut f-8?Q?ey_heavily_as_it_does_their_othe?==?Utf-8?Q?r?=This is a discussion on =?Utf-8?Q?Why_doesn=E2=80=99t_Microsoft_Market_Mon?==?Ut f-8?Q?ey_heavily_as_it_does_their_othe?==?Utf-8?Q?r?= within the Microsoft Money forums in Microsoft Tools category; I've used Money for sometime now and have been reasonably happy with it. My question-why doesn't MS market Money as it does their other products? The advantage of this to customers would be that a higher sales means more bug fixes, more online banks, and more features, etc. With Money being somewhat relatively 'unknown' to the world, I wonder if one day MS might end up pulling it off the market because of competition....just something to think about...... | ||||||||

| Re: Why doesn't Microsoft Market Money heavily as it does their other They used to spend megabucks marketing it by comparison. I think they've discovered that the demand is inelastic to the amount of money they spend marketing it. So they spend less now. Likewise, at $25 a copy or so--at retail--you've got to sell a bazillion copies to pay for much marketing.
