Quicken Home & Business 2007 [Posted on 2007-09-02]
Purchased this product specifically for the stocks evaluator in the Investing Center. Was not disappointed. Product provided exactly what I expected.

Quicken Slow [Posted on 2007-09-09]
I have been using Quicken 2000 for seven years and only bought Q2007 H&B after upgrading my OS from WinME to XP. Q2000 cannot now be registered and quickly timed out. Q2007 converted the Q2000 files even on my backup hard drive. Not good!
Although Q2007 works the help files just come up as Java script files and Intuit has not been able to sort this out although they have tried hard to do so.
The user interface screens have become far to fussy and not easily customisable. The only gain I have found is better customsation of reports.

Not as stated [Posted on 2007-09-21]
Before I purchased this product I went to their support sight to be sure I could import my existing data into this quicken version I down loaded the procedure and printed it. After purchasing the product and loading the product I found out the procedure is not allowed, it can only get transactions from your bank. When it does it is not accurate. I had to remove this product and go back to an earlier version of a different product one I previously owned.

Easy to Use for Home Finance Records [Posted on 2007-12-29]
We purchased this to keep track of our home budget and our small business accounting. It is easy to use, lets you see where all of your money is going, allows you to forcast your budget surplus and shortfalls. My wife uses this daily and she has no formal training in business or accounting.

Strangling on its own success [Posted on 2008-05-27]
A software publisher like Intuit can't leave well enough alone. They'd go out of business if they did that, so they keep releasing new versions of products that have already reached perfection or something close to it. Or, as is the case with Quicken, the older versions simply worked.

Now I finally got around to upgrading to Quicken Home & Business 2007. It runs without crashing - but most of the new features seem to be advertising for Intuit products and services.

What used to be transparent features, such as downloading credit card transactions and importing them into your accounts is given a fancy name ("web connect") and obfuscated. Try looking up "qfx" file in the Quicken Help system. Nothing really useful. Try looking up "importing credit card data" and you get hundreds of results. It appears that they scooped up everything from their online forums and dumped into their help file. It doesn't work well.

I finally found the answer I needed: don't fix it if it ain't broken. Once I thoroughly learn this version of Quicken, I will not update again until there is absolutely no choice. If anything, either Intuit should bring out a version with fewer "features" or someone should seize the market opportunity for a product that simply works.
