2 out of 5 stars It ain't what it use to be   September 2, 2008
I have been using Quicken since it's inception. I do believe that it started out as "CheckSum". They were a great company and were only to glad to make you happy with their product. Then, each year, thay added more and more stuff. At first what they added was good, but now the program has become bloated. It is more than any of need or can address and each year thay add a little something and charge a very substantial fee to upgrade when it should only be a free update. They really don't give you much support, but they tell you that they will stop supporting previous versions so that you'll spring for the new version. Some of the so called improvements are very confusing and complicated like "save a place" in the investment portfolios. I have not yet figured out what to do with it even though I have tried everything. The latest version "2008" isn't worth the money. Stay with your older version. For my needs, it adds nothing but increased revenue for Intuit!

I did not care for this product. It is very limiting and not user friendly.


5 out of 5 stars The perfect tool!   July 20, 2008
Quicken 2008 Premier is exactly what I needed. Because I decided to cut up all of my credit cards and use cash or a debit card, it's important that I keep track of my spending so I don't run out of money before payday. Now I can just download information from my credit union directly into Quicken and I don't have to remember to save receipts. I love it!

4 out of 5 stars Quicken 2008 upgrade   July 16, 2008
I have used Quicken since before Windows. It has always been satisfactory; some of the modifications made from time to time have been helpful, but I have often wished I could go back and do certain things the old way. I cannot compare it with its competitors because I have never used the competitors, but Quicken is quick, neat, pretty intuitive: anybody with the most basic computer skills should be able to use the basic components effectively.
