 Quicken 2006 Deluxe October 12, 2005
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
Generally very good as was my 2003 Deluxe. Not sure how to resolve conflict between my scheduled transactions and downloaded transactions. Bought 2006 because bill pay will no longer work without 2005 and a kit or 2006. The same was true of "Update" from the bank. I DO NOT LIKE FORCED UPGRADES! Hence the 4 stars. Was pleasantly surprised by $20 mail in rebate that I have just received.
 Quicken Deluxe 2006 Personal Finance October 12, 2005

This was an update to previous versions that I have used. I think that Quicken has the best software for keeping track of personal finances. I would recommend it to everyone whether you are just starting to keep track or an experienced bookkeeper. It is easy to use and has help at every stage.
Upgraded from Quicken 2002 October 3, 2005

Easy Install. Easy Upgrade and what an improvement over Quicken 2002. Everything downloads just fine. Quicken is a relatively complex piece of software, and it helps to read over the instructions. There are some things I don't think I'll ever need so I just don't use them. For one, I would never backup my financial information on line. Quicken does import QIF files from certain accounts. But QIF files are a problem and they do lead to duplicate results.
So, based on my experience, if you're running 2002, which a lot of people are, this will likely be a good upgrade.
 Quicken 2006 does not run. October 1, 2005

I have used the various iterations of the quicken product for 10+ years. I love the product and it has served me well. BUT... this years version quite simply DOES NOT WORK on my Windows 2000 system. It will not start. Splash screen appears and it crashes out.
I contacted customer support and they were unable to resolve the problem. Perviewing the support forums, version 2006 is riddled with problems. Stay away from version 2006, and use 2005 or 2004. Maybe next year's version will be better and um ... work.
I have since reinstalled Quicken 2004 and run currently with NO hiccups.
A loyal Money user has switched and couldn't be happier September 30, 2005

I was a die-hard Money user for many, many, years. I hadn't used Quicken since the DOS days. Money 2006 finally pushed me over the edge. Quicken bloated? Are you kidding me? Money 2006 is far more bloated and taxes your system much heavier than Quicken. Quicken 2006 loaded twice as fast on my laptop than Money did.
I had tested Money 2006 using their trial download product that will last until 12/31/05. Upon opening Money, you have to sign in to your MSN account. How stupid is that? Just start the freaking program already. Whatever Money was doing in the background, my Dell laptop couldn't handle the fat. Using Money was very frustrating. So frustrating in fact, that I purchased Quickin knowing full well I wouldn't be able to take it back. Was I glad I did!
Quicken loads in half the time. Updates are smooth and fast. Initial setting up was even easy, except for a small password issue. Quicken cannot handle passwords of 30 character in length. I had several of my online accounts with these long passwords and Quicken would report that it was unable to log me in due to invalid username or password. So I had my bank on the phone and she could see everything I was doing. Then I changed my password to 20 characters and bingo! Quicken was able to download. So keep your passwords under 30 characters.
I also think it is much easier to navigate in Quicken (this from someone that hasn't used it in years). Quicken is also more intuitive with so many features. Some of the most handy are: autorename, schedule payments, graphs and so much more.
I will say that Money has a more "polished" look than Quicken. However, that "polish" comes at a price, specifically bloating down your system.
