Due to Microsoft's propensity to market product versions using the year number rather than the actual version number, the version number reported in the Help dialogue may not actually reflect that of the packaging of the distribution media.

Note that a version 13.x was never created.

Microsoft has decided to discontinue the practice of releasing a new version of the product each year, and as such, no release is planned for 2009. Additionally, the company will no longer ship boxed versions of Microsoft Money to retail stores, instead selling the product only through online downloads. Boxed versions of the product will remain available at retail outlets only for as long as the supplies of those units already shipped remain.
