 Microsoft Money is Better October 16, 2007

I have tried the Microsoft Money in comparison with Quicken. Microsoft Money wins hands down. Read the reviews on Quicken. For the past few years the majority of people working on Quicken is the marketing team. If Intuit wouldn't force you to upgrade by "sunsetting" their product, then you be able to stay with an earlier version that worked and didn't push avertising in front of you all the time. Intuit has stopped listening to their customers. They are just trying to milk the product for all its worth without investing anything back into really making this product work for their loyal customers. Well they lost me!! I am not coming back. Microsoft may be "the big bully" but at least their product does what it should especially when dealing with MY finances!
Do not even think of buying this upgrade October 25, 2007

I have been a satisfied Quicken user for 19 years. Quicken 2008, however, is a disaster. When I tried to run some business reports, no data appeared. Tech support advised me that because 2008 requires you to pick business or personal when entering a category ALL PAST BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS have to be changed and re-categorized. For me it meant manually rekeying every signgle business transaction for 3 separate businesses going back 7 years. Not believing my ears, I recalled and spoke to another technician, who repeated the same thing. Intuit needs to rethink this product from the ground up. Intuit is a rare company that has managed to beat Microsoft in a software category over the years. Unless it fixes this terrible product, Microsoft Money will send it to the dustbin.

I was hoping that Intuit/Quicken would finally work out the bugs that continue to frustrate long-time Quicken(even Premier)users. Try printing out a report and regardless of the print setup you get microprint. This problem surfaced and was reported repeatededly in the 2006 "upgrade", which lead to an incredibly complex work-around solution offered by the Intuit "experts". This has persisted in the 2007 version and I presume from the early reviews that 2008 is going to (with all due respect to Frank Sinatra) be another "very bad year" for Quicken. I'm glad to see that someone has been able to migrate to MS Money without a problem and hope to do the same. As years of accumulated "QFX" financial records I hope that I'm as lucky as he was.
I just received a "courtesy" upgrade disc and was amazed that they are offering an update for my Premier version for "just" $79.99 ($5.00 more than Amazon). My guess is if they're mailing them out they must have realized that their loyal customer base was mysteriously disappearing...color me gone, too.

This program stinks! I don't need to go into detail, becuase the review above says it all. After 5 yrs with Quicken, I am going to take MS up on the free 60 day offer to try Money. Either way, I am never buying a Quicken product again.

I've been a Quicken user for 11 years and the software is increasingly bug-ridden. It needs an entire rewrite.
