 No better then 2006 February 15, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I upgraded from 2006 to 2008 because it said it was finally compatable with PayPal - able to download transactions as It does with my ING and EMEX, etc.. No; it does not!
I spent nearly a half hour of cellular minutes with a PayPal rep whose first language was not English, trying to make this work. It does not work.
There was no real help from PayPal or Intuit, PayPal apparently requires a fee based upgrade, though I did not explore those options any further.
I use Quicken almost daily for personal, business transactions, rental income, stocks, credit cards, bank accounts, and etc. so I know it pretty well. Beyond the PayPal fiasco, there is no significant enhancement with the upgrade; just bells, whistles and ribbons of little value.
"Upgrading" from 2005 not much of an upgrade February 3, 2008

This is a comparison of Quicken Premier 2005 vs. the home portion only of Quicken Home and Business 2008.
I bought this product because I had been using Quicken 2005 and Intuit will "no longer be supporting" bank connectivity for that version later this spring. Overall, I have been very disappointed with the lack of difference between the two versions.
New features I have found useful:
1) a _slightly_ better way to budget
2) a way to label an account a 529
I expected that the financial overview page would be improved, however,it seems about the same to me.
In summary, it was definitely not worth the money to upgrade, except that by discontinuing the bank connectivity (the most important feature, I feel) we are forced to purchase the new version.
Saying that, I have been using Quicken for almost a decade now. I love the product and am willing to shell out the extra cash, even though it irks me, in order to continue using it. Quicken is essential to my personal financial life and has been for many years.

 Quicken 2008 Stinks January 29, 2008

Do not upgrade to 2008. The program is ugly, buggy and the screen flickers like crazy. This company just throws an upgrade out there every year to get additional revenue. Unfortunately, they don't test the programs.
I got a notice that I had to upgrade from 2005, which had no problems at all to this "junk software".
Shame on you Quicken.............I hope your software engineers are reading these reviews. Your program stinks............
 Thanks for the warnings about 2008 January 24, 2008

My Quicken 2005 is becoming more corrupted by the day. Then to make matters worse Quicken started notifying on EVERY transaction that on-line services would end in April. After my experiences with the 2005 product I was looking to jump to MS Money but, seems people aren't crazy about it either. Thanks for the warnings about 2008.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
I have used Quicken for well over a decade, and it seems every new edition is worse than the previous. Q2008 is no exception.
Recently, I was forced to update from Q2005 to Q2008 when Intuit informed me that they would no longer support my version. Frankly I didn't care if they stopped offering customer support, but the fact that they stopped your ability to connect with your bank online is ridiculous. I can't say that I was entirely happy with Q2005, and always felt it was a step backwards from the previous edition. However, I got by. After installing Q2008, it makes me wonder how Intuit stays in business. This is not only a step backward, but the quality of Q2008 is laughable. (Read some of the other reviews for specific details.) Although it doesn't seem to crash as often as Q2005 on Vista, the errors in calculations, graphing, reports, etc are disturbing. Intuit if you are reading this, you should be ashamed, and customers should have some recourse for Intuit basically stealing our money with faulty software.
