Domain Name Com's - Software : Quicken Home & Business 2007 [OLDER VERSION]

- Sloooooooooooooooooooooooooow!
Been using Quicken for years, and this is by far the worst version ever. On my 2GHz PC I can see the screen redrawing because of all the fancy stuff they are trying to do with the interface - stuff that BTW adds little value to the overall application. It's a total dog!

I'd stick with the 2006 version if I had the opportunity to go back. Unfortunately now that I've upgraded I believe I'm stuck.

- So how long before the patches are released to address bugs?
OK, so I bought 2006 back in July, because I'd previously been at 2003, and needed to upgrade so that I could take advantage of the online banking and account download, which was going obsolete with 2003 (Grrr.)

But then I found out that 2007 was going to be released in just a couple of weeks. I contacted quicken and they told me they would send me 2007 for free since I just purchased 2006. So I figured I'd just wait and use '07.

Installed '07, and things generally seemed to go OK. For the first few weeks.

But then I started having problems with downloading from some accounts. At this point, I'm baffled at why I can't get some of my automatic web update working on accounts that it used to. I have one account that each time I go into, it tells me that "my bank requires me to change the password the first time I do a web connect". So I type in the old password, and then a new one... and it fails to do a web connect. So then I do it again. Says it wants me to change the password again.

Then I see a new "Checking2" account that shows up. Where did that come from? There's nothing in it.

At this point, I'm "into" 2007... So I'm probably not going to uninstall and go back to 2006, but at the same time, I'm "afraid" to even go into 2007 to do things with my accounts for fear that it's going to corrupt my file and leave me stranded.

I've been loyal ever since I used Quicken on my 16MHz Macintosh LC back in 1990. The product rocked back then and was so easy to use, and it was good on the PC when I switched over a few years later... I think even Quicken 98 was decent, but started heading in the wrong direction. Then with Quicken 2003, I started being disappointed with how they changed the interaction. What happened to the MDI style interface? I liked being able to have more than one account register up at a time. Now with 2007, they don't introduce any more important features... just bugs.

There is a big difference between products that are created by enthusiastic visionaries, and those that are produced by the bloated corporations that follow, who end up hiring large teams of people who don't have much in common with the original founder(s).

So which nimble, intelligent visionary is going to give us the next great money management product that will take over where Quicken and MS Money should have gone?

- Don't upgrade to this product.
I purchased and installed the new version of Quicken Home & Business. The first thing I noticed was that some software design genius decided that it would be a good idea to put black text on a dark background in the account bar. Also when the balance amounts are checked to not show in the total they a light grey color and become almost invisible. I searched everywhere for a place to change the color and after contacting Intuit I found out that you can't change it.

I have use Quicken for over 10 years and have always liked the product but this time I'm sending it back and reinstalling the 2006 version so I can read the screen. If you're thinking about upgrading to the 2007 version don't! Keep what you have. The upgrade isn't that different than the 2006 product.

- Don't buy!
We wish we could give this junk a zero star...

We bought this today and wasted 4 hours getting the stupid thing finally installed after dozens of errors and downloads--and it crashed our computer and jammed it up no less than six times on top of that. When it was finally up and running and our computer was working with it after having to tweak the heck out of our system to make run (turn of virus protection, firewall, etc.), we discovered that Quicken 2007 wouldn't import our data from any version of Microsoft Money! The help screen directed us to download yet another file that will covert only part of the data (no loans, no catagories, no investments, etc.), which meant we would still have to manually enter the rest by hand.

However, the link to download this crucial file warns that it won't download to a newer version than Quicken 2006, but that doesn't matter anyway because the link is dead! Money can export files to QIF account at a time, but Quicken no longer imports that either, so that option doesn't help. We finally logged into the help center at Intuit and waited for another half-hour to be sent to a chatroom in India just to go around and around and around with someone who knows even less about basic computing than your grandma and isn't anywhere near as polite. Their final solution was to interrupt us, give us a link that just took us right back to the beginning for the third time, and drop us suddenly into a page that expected us to input our credit card data and pay for any further tech support. Before we could say anything further, he disconnected the chatroom behind the window!

This is so going back tomorrow and we will never buy another Quicken or Intuit product ever again.

- REBATES IS A SCAM
I PRE REGISTERED WITH INTUITE FOR THE REBATE, SENT IN ALL THE COPIES AND UPC'S THEY REQUIRE AND THEN THEY CLAIM MY REBATE IS NOT VALID BECAUSE I BOUGHT IT AT AMAZON. I READ THE LIST OF 3 STORES THAT DID NOT QUALIFY TO PARTICIPATE AND AMAZON WAS NOT ON IT.

I DO REBATES IN THE AMOUNT OF HUNDREDS A YEAR. THIS IS AN OLD TRICK I HAVE NOT SEEN FOR LONG TIME, I MEAN I DON'T HAVE MY REBATES TURNED DOWN, I DO MY HOME WORK.

SHAME ON INTUIT.
