 Lack of QIF support makes this version unusable April 1, 2005
19 out of 22 found this review helpful
You'd think Intuit would have learned from their copy protection debacle, but apparently not enough heads have rolled. They're fast becoming the Enron of the financial software industry. The decision to block support for downloading QIF files seems a blatant attempt to squeeze money out of financial institutions at the expense of their own customers. I hope they come to the same well-deserved end as Enron. I will never buy another one of their products. At the risk of helping them sell more copies of this outrage, though, I should say that you can import QIF files by a roundabout route. Search Google Groups for "download qif quicken 2005" and you'll see a message telling you how to do it.
Stay away! March 27, 2005

Untuit's arrogance is incredible: This program will not download data for checking accounts in any format except the new one Quicken just designed. Of course they don't mention this in their sales pitch, and relatively few banks support it. If you convert your data from an earlier version, there is no way to convert it back. And you can't convert from Quicken 2005 into Microsoft Money either (according to the MicroSoft web site). I have been using Quicken & TurboTax for years, but never again.
Forced Upgrade Foolishness March 24, 2005
19 out of 20 found this review helpful
I'm a user of Quicken 2002. It works fine for my needs except that Intuit has chosen to "sunset" all the online features. Now I don't expect that q2002 should be working 100 years from now, but 3 years ain't so long.
If Intuit were a customer-oriented company, they'd allow me to buy an "online service extension" and give me another 10 years. Instead its all about the $40 for the new version which will probably "sunset" in 2006 or 2007 to get me to upgrade again.
For tracking your finances, this software works just fine, but budget in an "upgrade" every few years. [Also the whole basic, deluxe, superdeluxe, f500-deluxe, warrenbuffet-premiere stuff is just dumb. Get the bean counters to factor in the marginal-loss due to the annoyance of trying to figure out which one does what.]
Forget about your refund... for a while March 24, 2005

After discovering this software is a major piece of crap I returned the package to Intuit as per their Satisfaction Guaranty policy. It took them over three months to refund my money. I called them 8 times to get status updates on my refund and all they did was bounce me from one person to another... promised someone would call me back and no one never did.
On top of that, they made a mistake and forgot to refund the sales tax. It took another several weeks of grief to get them to acknowledge their error and refund the remainder. Phew.
Overall, 0 stars for software and 0 stars for customer service.
 No problems installing Quicken Deluxe 2005 March 23, 2005
6 out of 11 found this review helpful
I was previously using Quicken 2001, and was prompted by Intuit to upgrade to Q2005. Since I would no longer be able to pay my bills online with my current version, I had no choice but to upgrade. After I ordered the upgrade, I read many of the negative reviews on this product, and thought about canceling my order. But after reading reviews for Microsoft Money, I wasn't overly impressed either. I decided to stick with Quicken. My OS is WinXP. I think it took about 20 minutes to install, and I had no hang ups at all. My data (since 1996) transferred over just fine, and I even made the connection to my bank to download transactions. Very easy set up.
I gave it 5 stars, just because it does what I need it to do. The only thing I do with Quicken is download my transactions from my bank, pay bills on-line (through Quicken, not through the bank's site), and run a few cash flow reports. For what I need to do, it works just fine.
