 Pain in the rear to get started. Need accounting background... July 17, 2008
APB (TX)

I have a small photography business and use this to keep books.
Takes some serious effort to get started and the help files are worthless for understanding how to set things up.
Get a good book on accounting and you should be okay.
CONCLUSION:
Takes some work but is an okay solution.
 Nice Features But Unusable Due to Bugs July 23, 2008
Krellster (Pleasant Ridge, MI USA)

Avoid this software at all costs. I'm a long term Quicken user (15+ years) and, though they keep adding nice features in terms of reports, views and tools, they are unusable due to problems like the software using up 100% of the P.C.'s CPU without ever letting up. When certain views are selected, the CPU will go to 100%, with Quicken being the culprit, and it never lets go. Only terminating the process by way of the Task Manager is your only lifeline. Even then, it seems that Quicken leaves the P.C. in a bad state. I've only had this problem with Home & Business 2008.
I do have to agree with the other reviewers in that there are other quirks that leave you feeling less than confident about how Quicken handles your financial data. This was never the case with version from the 90's. They've tried to add too many features and have given little attention to software quality.
If you are thinking about this software for the first time - forget it! If you have a migration path away from it - take it!
The Blue Screen of Death Generator July 29, 2008
Bassam O. Osman (Grand Terrace, CA USA)

After much deliberation, I upgraded from the very stable MSMoney to Quicken 2008 Home and Business. It works fine when it works, featurewise, not a whole lot diferent from comparable MSMoney version. Except for this nasty feature: As you work along in quicken, quicken decides it is time to reboot your PC, so you get the infamous windows Blue Screen and pop, you are rebooting, whether you like it or not.
Support is useless, unless you want to pay to train their support staff and do the Quality Assurance and Testing on their product. Big mistake, now I have to re-convert everything back to MS Money.

The software I purchased was delivered in a timely manner and was exactly as decribed. Good Work-Thanks
 Hard To Figure Out July 4, 2008
M Darras (Tulsa, OK)
I like the things that Quicken does, I just have a hard time figuring out how to do them. I need a "Quicken for dummies" book to go along with it!
