 I'm sending it back June 28, 2008

Family members have used old (2000 - 2002) versions of Quicken for years. Wanting to get a handle on my finances, and running Vista, I purchased this product. I installed it and it would not correctly download my bank accounts. After many hours and 4 rounds of emails with customer support - I decided life was too short. I was pleased that the product has a 60 day money back guarantee, so it's going back and I'm going to try Money, in hopes that I have better luck. This product never worked correctly, and became more unstable with time - within 24 hours of installation it failed to download transactions at all and made my screen flicker. Customer support tried to be helpful, and sent me an email within 24 hours each day I wrote them. I wasn't excited about paying $25 for help with my new program, so I didn't call telephone support. My advice: run.

 Run away! May 19, 2008

I have been a loyal Quicken user for over a decade. I have paid hundreds of dollars in upgrades use Quicken to manage all of my finances. However, The product and support have steadily been degrading. About four years ago I stopped buying upgrades. I was on Quicken 2005, which was stable and working great for me. I stopped updating Quicken because I didn't need the new features and every time a new version came out there were horror stories about how they handled/didn't handle on-line transactions.
I use PayPal every day. At first the new Quicken 2008 way of downloading the transactions was great (that it after I figured out it had duplicated all the transactions I already had in Quicken). No longer did I manually have to go to PayPal to download a QIF file. I could directly important from Quicken. But, suddenly after April 30th, I can no longer download transactions. To make matters worse, PayPal has no idea how to solve the problem and Quicken 2008 cannot import any tab delimited, comma delimited or even QIF files. So, now I have no way to get my PayPal tranactions into Quicken.
On top of that, after paying for an upgrade, Quicken will not provide telephone support free of charge anymore for many types of questions. And, you cannot call them. You have to fill out a web request, wait for them to call you, then they tell you if they fix your problem it'll be $24.95.
I'm sorry I upgraded to 2008. But, Quicken cut off the ability to even download transactions (not just support) to anyone who didn't pay the ransom.
Don't downgrade to 2008! May 18, 2008

Don't downgrade to 2008!
Do not buy Quicken unless your willing to be forced to upgrade (downgrade?) to continue receiving transaction downloads every 4 years or so!
This is the second time I've been forced to upgrade to a later version of Quicken to continue with download feature and each time you loose functionality. But this is the worst yet and this is version 5 of this release. So glad I waited to the last minute to install this.
And after all these years Quicken still can't properly sort a column of numbers! ( 9 is greater than 11! Not! )
It's much slower than 2005 version!
Can no longer backup directly to CD! Won't tell you about this before you upgrade. Intuit doesn't recognize it as a bug. No listing on their FAQ for the error "Drive is read-only." Must be a feature (right!) - or more likely a ploy to get you to use online backup.
Heres the "fix" they sent!
"Create a new folder on the desktop.
1. Open quicken program
2. Click on File
3. Click on Backup
4. Click on Browse
5. Select the new folder created on the desktop
6. It will backup the file to the new folder
7. Right click on new folder and then send it to the CD.
8. It will backup the file to the CD. "
In other words - backup to hard drive and copy to CD. Yeah - I figured that out myself.
I think they outsourced development and support and this is what you get!
I may buy a share of Intuit just to be a thorn at next shareholder meeting and vote against the board of directors for some satisfaction!

Have used Quicken for years and the new combined home and business package offers more flexibility and options for an all in one program that track both my home and company expenses! I am very happy with this program, as I tried Quick Books several years back and UGH what a cumbersome process.
Home & Business Quicken is just the right answer for me!!
