"Excellent Software"
I needed to upgrade my old Quicken Software in order to download information from my financial institutions so I bought this one. It does all I need to do with my finances and does it with ease. The learning curve was short and the HELP really did help me. It does a great job with categorizing by data. I think the average person does not need anything more complex.

"So far, so good"
I purchased this product to go along with the new computer. I had no problems tranferring the 4+ years of information from Quicken 2001, but that could be due to the fact that the "Geek Squad" came and set up the computer and tranferred the files. This computer has Windows Vista Home Premium and Quicken so far runs fine.

The only thing I do not like about this was the fact that I could not change the home page, so I just made a new tab and put the information I wanted to see on this. When I open Quicken, this page appears and I just ignore the home page tab.

So far, I like this version of Quicken and find that it is not that different from 2001.

"Quicken Is a Disappointment"
The problems started when the install routine would not work with my Vista operating system on an HP computer. This is Aug. 07 and Vista wasn't even listed as one of the possible operating systems.

The written materials included with the disk were not very helpful. Overall, the package of materials seemed to be designed for someone who is updating from an older version to the 2007 version. I am neophyte to Quicken and found little to help me understand what the basics of this program are and how one goes about importing the data required from my bank accounts. The choices for this sort of software are few. Microsoft Money is the other big title. Now I wish I had started with it. Perhaps it isn't any easier, but at least it probably would have installed easily with Vista. There may even be free open software that would be better than what I got.

"Quicken - You will rue the day you bought it !"
Intuit has known for several years that their Quicken products are flawed. The screen flickers repeatedly during use, as it refreshes. This happens with all video cards in XP and is not computer specific. No one has identified a "fix" for the problem. You should Google "quicken screen flicker" to hear the complaints of many people. Quicken has not responded to this problem. Instead, it keeps putting out the flawed product for people to buy. The flicker is very irritating because the display shakes dramatically (I do not exaggerate) and because it happens every time you save a transaction and also whenever the screen is normally scheduled to refresh. The refresh speed on the memorized transactions page is very slow, and the screen refreshes slowly two times for every page down. If you buy this product, you will be very disappointed. Buy something else.

"Awesome product"
This is a great product especially for keeping track of personal finances. I have heard that there were many people having trouble connecting through the internet but I personally don't feel that that's a very safe practice. However if you are willing to keep up with it manually I truly recommend this product. It makes keeping up with a budget so much easier.
