There is a monthly update CD for around $200 annually now called "Stock Investor Pro". They currently don't have web based price updates, but I've talked to the programmers and they say they're working on it. AAII has a web site (not sure of the address, but maybe www.aaii.org) that describes what's on the CD. Brief description, the Pro version has 7 years of fundamental historicals in addition to most recent 8 quarters. Balance sheet, Income statmt, and Cashflow. IBES earnings estimates are included too. Data lag is somewhat of a problem, but usually not more than a quarter. It's not good for charting if that's your thing, but for fundamentals it has about everything I could want. Don't know about Microsoft Investor, but I believe it is web based. One advantage of having datasets on a CD is being able to export sizeable datasets to Excel and further work with them. I'd think something web based may be limited in that respect. Good luck, Shane
