 Don't upgrade to this product.Oct 04, 2006
By Steve Williams
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.

 Sloooooooooooooooooooooooooow!Oct 28, 2006
By sid6581
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.

Unreliable and buggyNov 21, 2006
By Peter
"Peter"
I have used Quicken since the mid-90s, and each release adds more new cool features while simultaneously becoming more unstable and Quicken 2007 H&B is no exception. Some of the new stuff is really nice like background downloading of transactions and automatic naming of backup files. But this new version (r2) doesn't download transactions successfully anymore - they're downloaded but invisible in the register. And my payroll splits are also now invisible and uneditable. How Intuit can release a program that has such huge bugs is beyond me, but the last thing one needs is financial software that loses your data! And Intuit's customer support is worthless. If you're using anything else then don't switch to Quicken. And if you're using Quicken then don't upgrade. Should Intuit resolve this mess then I'll post an update here, but I'm not holding my breath.

AdvertisingMar 13, 2007
By C. Hair
"IT Pro"
Quicken software continues to contain prominent advertising for Intuit products and services. In my opinion, it is fine to offer additional services to customers, but give the customer the opportunity to say "no thanks" and then leave them alone so they can be productive with the software. Forever pestering a paid customer with advertising for the same products and services is not a good idea. Advertising takes up space in the user interface and is a distraction that reduces productivity.

So how long before the patches are released to address bugs?Oct 19, 2006
By Mark Sicignano
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?
