 I like it - Why all the fuss? February 24, 2006
17 out of 17 found this review helpful
I upgraded from 2003 version and I must say that I'm pleasantly surprised after reading all of the dismal reviews left by others here. The overall interface hasn't changed much aside from aesthetics which give it a more up-to-date look and feel. I really like the changes made with transaction handling which is a tabbed and collapsible area at the bottom. The new reporting and attachment features are very slick. I also have ZERO problems downloading data from any of my financial institutions (Fidelity, ING, Chase, Compass...). And about the ads, they are Intuit-related, are a single line of text in the bottom corner, and have been in every single version of this software. Not a big deal.
To sum up, 2006 Deluxe is a solid upgrade that I think most users will be pleased with.
 Looking for an alternative... February 24, 2006

**Like several folks who wrote before me, I was satisfied with an older version that I had purchased but was forced to upgrade by Intuit because they would not continue to let my older version connect to my bank. That really does not seem right. Other reviewers noted that there installation had trouble or the software did not work with their particular banks, a problem that I did not have. Changing to this new software was really a pain though.
**There are no features in this new product that I need or want. The interface is significantly different from my 2003 release so I have to spend time learning how to deal with that. **When you go on-line for the first time, it treats you as a new on-line user as though you had never done it before, and runs you through a burdensome registration procedure and insists that you must know your quicken.com userid and password, something long since forgotten.
**I am very annoyed with the amount of advertisements that this product puts you through. Without asking, it installed six icons on my desktop for credit cards and other financial services that I don't want. Within the application, it points you to a star in the ledger screen, when you click on it; it takes you online to rate local businesses.
**I have not used application but only a few hours and already I'm finding silly bugs. For example, when you're on-line session finishes, Quicken flashes up a big summary screen that outlines all the things that it did (number of transactions exchanged, that sort of thing). There is a check box you can check that says to not show you the screen again unless there is some sort of error. Even when you check it, you still get the screen even when there are no errors.
**When you first sign on, it asks to go online and check for updates, that seems like a find thing to do. But once the update is downloaded, the process to apply the update insists that Quicken must be closed but will not let you get to the window to close it.
Low ratings for making me pay to an upgrade that I did not need or want, for all the stupid advertisements, for a clunky upgrade process, and for moving me from a stable product to a buggy product.
 don't upgrade or buy this product! February 22, 2006

No .QIF support, ads running while using the software. You are paying for this program with ads running? I thought only freeware or shareware comes with ads, but his junk also!
 Satisfactory given forced purchase February 21, 2006

When a company decides to force its customers to purchase an upgrade, it would be best to insure the product will make them feel like the cost was well worth it....
[...] At that price, it's just OK. If I had paid more, then I would've been really ticked. This doesn't do much more than my 2003 version.
If you're forced to make a purchase, shop around...you'll feel better about the product if you can find it cheaper.
Quicken 2006 for PC and Mac February 20, 2006
12 out of 13 found this review helpful
I had used Quicken for many years. I own both a PC and a Mac. I decided to migrate my Quicken 2005 data to my Mac and bought the 2006 upgrade for Mac. Big mistake! Quicken 2005 dropped qif support for banks, but some credit card qif downloads were supported. This ended in 2006. Many financial institutions have no support for qfx, Intuit's proprietary software. The Mac version is terrible. It offers a lot less features than the PC. One problem is that if you use voucher checks, you can print out no more than two at a time. After that, three checks will print on one page even if you only have one check per page laser checks. Tech support from Intuit is horrible. If you can find a phone number, expect to spend three hours on hold.
I just bought Money 2006 Premiun. I installed this on my PC. It supports ALL of my financial instittuions. Tech support is timely and free. I had to start with a whole new file, but since this is early in the year, starting from scratch was not to hard to do.
