Microsoft Money for the Mac or Linux

Microsoft have never released a version of Microsoft Money for any platform other than the Window platforms.

The official line on having a version of MSMoney for the Mac, or Linux or another operating system, is that Microsoft has no plans to do so. It is unlikely, at the present time, that they ever will.

Mac Systems

If you have an older, PowerPC-based Mac, then you can use Virtual PC.

If you want to use Microsoft Money on a Mac, then you have a couple of options.

For more modern Intel-based Mac machines, then Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac enables you to run Windows on it. In this you can run Microsoft Money whilst retaining the use of the Mac operating system. More information on this software can be found here.

If you wish to dual boot both OS X and Windows, then a solution would be to use Apple Boot Camp, and boot into Windows when wanting to use Money.

I do not have a Mac machine, so both are untested by myself (although I have used Money under a Virtual PC on a PC based system). However, I've had many reports that these both work.

You may obtain this software directly from Parallels (Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac) or from Amazon (US, UK, Canada)

Linux

The only software I currently am aware of is WINE for Linux, which would provide emulation of Windows, and thus allow Money to be run.
