Customer Reviews:

Avoid Quicken [Posted on 2008-04-23]
I had to give up and stay with MS Money 2007. It was easy to set up Quicken as it downloaded data from financial institutions ( but each institution had a different time frame it supplied from 3 months to 18 months, making historical calculations with Quicken worse than useless) , and after doing it the first time, subsequent times, it claimed no new transactions from Bank of America (untrue), and totally bollixed up transactions from TIAA-CREF. Then its built in graphics were flat unacceptable and unuseable with the "My Accounts" window refusing to stay as top window, but with elements of underlying window being redrawn on top of it. Also it kept nagging me to use their pay services that I get for free through my banks. All-in-all I grade it a D-; and can not recommend it.

Quicken FAILS [Posted on 2008-04-30]
I have been a quicken used for 10+ years. Also use quickpayroll(was quickpay and was morphed into quickpayroll years ago). I am a busy business owner and deal with lots of various colleagues, suppliers, etc for 27 years. The intuit organization is perhaps THE very poorest organization I deal with, not responsive, crappy products, lots of bugs, I am SICK AND TIRED of their products. Wish I NEVER would have "upgraded" to Quicken 2008. I am not looking for a better software to replace both. I think Intuit will go the way of AMC, Eastern Airlines, etc...

Painless but (unfortunately) necessary upgrade [Posted on 2008-05-01]
I upgraded from Quicken 2005 Home & Business today because all the download features would stop working tomorrow (Intuit's policy is to disable download capabilities after 3 years). The upgrade and required file conversion were quick and painless.

On starting the new version 2 credit card accounts would no longer work with "web-connect." It turns out that these two accounts could now be used with (the much more convenient) one step update process. After spending a few minutes on configuration the accounts now update with all the others. A little confusing but a nice touch!

I experienced no problems with flickering screens despite using a wireless mouse and Microsoft's mouse software. All-in-all a good experience. I would have awarded 5 stars except that the only reason for upgrading was to avoid loss of functionality per the Intuit license agreement.

Quicken 2008 Home & Business  [Posted on 2008-05-03]
just what I need, mostly selfexplaining and saving a LOT of time (and bandwidth)... I used to program my bookkeeping files in EXCEL - but Quicken can do it better - a LOT

They want you to do all of the work to find & fix their bugs!!! [Posted on 2008-05-04]
There are several bugs that they haven't fixed yet. They could update your 2008 with the fixes, but they want you to go online, find the problem from over 200 listed and then try to fix it yourself. If you are not already tied into the Quicken web of products, buy something else, and save yourself a head ache.

I WOULD NOT reccomend this product to anyone else!!!
