Resource Hog:

I've used Quicken for at least a decade. I was forced to upgrade from Quicken 2005 because Intuit nukes the online banking feature in older versions. It left me little choice as I've become dependent on online banking. There was a rebate on 2008 so it was cheaper than an older version, plus I can expect that this version will nuke itself in three to four years as well and I want the most for my dollar.
I'm running a 3ghz dual core machine with 4gb of ram and a 512mb video card and this program is slow.... more info

Turn away if you want to convert from MSMoney:

I switch to Quicken after Money was time to renew. I have 13 years worth of data need to convert. I thought it would be as easy as description. Turn out it is an endless nightmare. For months, yes it takes long time to fight with errors (lots of data missing and mismatching) and limitation.
1. Can't change the account type. You can't just convert from bank type to cash account. Once you made mistake, you have either delete the account or live with it.
2. Automatic download is not supported for all... more info

Good Product:

Quicken 2008 Deluxe [OLD VERSION]I was pleasantly suprised to find that all my old Quicken 2002 data loaded with no problem onto Quicken 2008 Delux. Well worth the price. Only negative is that it has a tendancy to freeze when backing up to a flash drive. But I find it to work very well otherwise.

More added feathers now bloated pig:

I have been using quicken since it first arrived on the market, it was a simple manage your check book program that worked well, and still does. For some reason like all software developers they feel more is better. It now has become this bloated monster with no end in site. I use less than 25 percent of what this program now offers and the rest I could care less about. I do all my banking on line and all I need this program to do is to download the information so I can reconsile it. My bank offers... more info
