 Don't downgrade to 2008! May 18, 2008
Don't downgrade to 2008!
Do not buy Quicken unless your willing to be forced to upgrade (downgrade?) to continue receiving transaction downloads every 4 years or so!
This is the second time I've been forced to upgrade to a later version of Quicken to continue with download feature and each time you loose functionality. But this is the worst yet and this is version 5 of this release. So glad I waited to the last minute to install this.
And after all these years Quicken still can't properly sort a column of numbers! ( 9 is greater than 11! Not! )
It's much slower than 2005 version!
Can no longer backup directly to CD! Won't tell you about this before you upgrade. Intuit doesn't recognize it as a bug. No listing on their FAQ for the error "Drive is read-only." Must be a feature (right!) - or more likely a ploy to get you to use online backup.
Heres the "fix" they sent!
"Create a new folder on the desktop.
1. Open quicken program
2. Click on File
3. Click on Backup
4. Click on Browse
5. Select the new folder created on the desktop
6. It will backup the file to the new folder
7. Right click on new folder and then send it to the CD.
8. It will backup the file to the CD. "
In other words - backup to hard drive and copy to CD. Yeah - I figured that out myself.
I think they outsourced development and support and this is what you get!
I may buy a share of Intuit just to be a thorn at next shareholder meeting and vote against the board of directors for some satisfaction!
Rip Off Practices - No Improvement Just More Charges May 17, 2008
What kind overtly greedy system of software suppliers are we working with? Can anyone find a good reason for forcing users to upgrade just to keep online access? Intuit wants to be paid every year whether or not they produce something new and more useful. It is time for a really good open source product that developers have no incentive to obsolete unless there is a substantial improvement. MS has done the same thing with MS Money. This is the same sort of thing when drug companies make useless "improvements" in existing drugs to try and keep extending the patents.
I can't believe I actually PAID for this frustration. May 13, 2008
After Intuit deactivated my copy of Quicken 2004, which worked fine, I made the mistake of upgrading to this product. The one-step update feature, which is the only reason I purchased the upgrade, is nearly unusable. Customer support in India is friendly but useless. They just keep telling you to disconnect your account, then reconnect. After contacting them four times (this usually takes an hour of my time), they finally "escalated" the issue. I dutifully uploaded the log files they ask for and waited for a few days. At last the answer came back: Just disconnect the account, then reconnect. I have been buying Quicken and TurboTax products for as long as the products have been sold. This was the last time.
 Great home page calendar May 11, 2008
i've used quicken for 15 years. I like the home page calendar feature of the new version that shows all transactions completed or due for the entire month. Very helpful.
 Quicken 2008 May 11, 2008
This software came quickly and was new/unused. I purchased it for about half the price of one of the leading stores for computer software.
