6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

If you have Microsoft Excel and you are serious about getting your personal finances in order, then this book is a MUST for your financial library. It covers a large range of personal home finance topics. Each chapter provides an understanding of the topic, along with the appropriate Excel worksheets on the accompanying CD.

If the word Excel sends shivers up your spine, have no fear. The first three chapters are devoted to explaining Excel. If you are already familiar with Excel, just skip the first three chapters.

In addition to the worksheets, there are also many calculators provided on the CD such as: Net Worth Calculator, Mortgage Points Calculator, Rent versus Buy Calculator, Mutual Fund Comparator, and many more.

NOT for Business Money 2005 3 out of 5 stars.
25 of 30 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book to go with the Business version of Money 2005. When I opened up the package from Amazon, I was disappointed to find that this book does not cover Business Money. Now, I've got to go through the hassle of packaging it back up for a refund. Thought I'd spare you the same experience.

I already have the 2003 version of this book, and found that one to be a great help in getting familiar with the old program. It's written for beginning users and some of the tips are real time-savers. However, the chapters about basic record-keeping information for small business owners are unnecessary filler. The 2005 version looks to be pretty much the same as the one I have. So if you're just doing personal finance tracking with Money, it's handy to have.

Now, if someone would please write an easy book for businesses that use Money!

Editorial Review:

"Folks who read this book will be rewarded with an unfair competitive advantage in the marketplace. . .hide it under the newspaper on the airplane!" —Nick Copping, CEO, ZOOM Marketing; former strategist for Global System Integrators, Microsoft
"Partnering is in Microsoft’s DNA. Partnering with Microsoft helps you understand Microsoft, speak their language and thrive in the Microsoft ecosystem. It’s the most definitive perspective I’ve seen." —Sam Jadallah, General Partner, Mohr Davidow Ventures; former General Manager for Worldwide Business Strategy at Microsoft, and the architect of Microsoft's partnering strategy
"…offers insight into the fast paced nature of working and succeeding with Microsoft." —Allison L. Watson, Vice President, Worldwide Partner Group, Microsoft Corporation
"As much celebration as analytic advisory, Partnering with Microsoft prescriptively explores one of the least understood but most important mechanisms driving Microsoft’s global success." —Michael Schrage, MIT Media Lab, and author of Serious Play
MICROSOFT is the largest software company in the world, dominating the information technology industry. Software, services and reseller firms have a choice: they can either compete with Microsoft or partner with it. More than any other company in the computer industry, Microsoft has proved the value of partnering and the efficiencies of the channel model. In fact, many attribute Microsoft's monumental success to its early recognition that it would need a strong channel of service providers, resellers, developers and manufacturing partners in order to seed the PC industry.
This book is the first practical resource for business leaders showing how to build a successful partnership with Microsoft. Separate chapters focus on the unique requirements for resellers, systems integrators, and independent software vendors.
The book shows readers how to increase and leverage their firms' connections to Microsoft—at various levels and with different groups in the organization, playing to the company's culture and strategy—in order to expand the terrain of shared interests between their firm and Microsoft. Doing so will help make more money in a trusted partnership through effective co-marketing, efficient channel relationships, assured referrals and joint success in selling complementary products or services in the United States and around the world. This book demystifies Microsoft's culture, global organization and strategic trajectory, and orients readers to the tactics required to increase and work their firms' connections to—and trusted partnership with—Microsoft to achieve optimal success.
The authors draw on many years of experience to help readers understand the Microsoft culture and be attuned to its strategy in order to succeed in partnering—and how to help Microsoft perceive their firms as high-value partners. They also guide readers to focus on the many business-growth opportunities that unfold when they become successful partners with Microsoft. Successful partnerships will extend a firm's business and technical development opportunities into new accounts and new markets with the globally powerful backing of Microsoft.

Ask the Expert Microsoft Money 2001 1 out of 5 stars.
28 of 29 people found this review helpful.

Unfortunately, I did not check out Amazon.com's reviews before buying this book. Most of the posted reviews accurately reflect my thoughts regarding this "Ask the Expert" book.

In short, I found the book to be too basic for my thirst for knowledge. For example, I tried to figure out how to archive my files within Money. The appendix directed me to a single page which didn't have the word "archive" anywhere on it.

The three pages on budgeting add no information to what is on Money's help screens.

My "expert" advice: Wait for a different book.
