5 out of 5 stars Great product - I had no problems   July 12, 2005

I was scared because of the reviews of the previous version and didn't upgrade to 2003 version and then the bad reviews of this version made me nervous that I would never upgrade. My old Quicken worked fine but it was extremely old and I wanted some of the more advanced interfaces with the banks. I finally decided to jump knowing I was probably steering into trouble.

I must say that my upgrade from an old version of Quicken went extremely smoothly! Not one hiccup. It converted several years of history files and all my current quicken files from QIF format.

My upgrade went smooth but I prepared. Mind you, I run Windows XP with latest drivers and am saavy with computer hardware and Operating Systems. I'm glad I didn't listen to the negative reviews in this case but to give them credit, there are numerous operating systems, hardware, drivers etc and sympatize with them for having problems -- so make sure you meet compatibility before you purchase and definitely back up your files before starting any upgrade. I did hear that the initial release of 2005 had some bugs on the CD and you had to go to the website to download some file but that's just rumour, but do look for the latest product in the stores (Amazon carries the good stuff -- I bought from here). I do give credit to Quicken for making a product that serves so many people on so many different computer systems for so many years.

I've been using the new 2005 now for several months -- No problems, I'm so glad I upgraded.

Bought from Amazon - they shipped fast! Great Service! Great Store!

This may not be the most feature full product but WOW, it does do alot for the money. Unless you track a large diverse portfolio across multiple companies and want to know every detail about investing, this product is GREAT!!


5 out of 5 stars I've wasted so much time being scared by these reviews   February 25, 2005

Several years ago I needed to upgrade to a new version of Quicken or Money due to a bank merger. I had been a happy Quicken user for many years before that. The reviews on Quicken were terrible (like you see below) and the reviews on Money were OK so I went with Money.

I think I've wasted about five years struggling with Money and not moving to Quicken because of the constantly negative reviews. What a mistake! Money has spent years misassigning my transactions, introducing errors into my registers, and generally being to heavy and too aggressive about assuming what I want from it.

This year I got Quicken Basic free with Turbo Tax. I figured, what the heck. It's free. What a great upgrade!

Quicken Basic is quick, smooth, and clean. It easily downloaded my accounts, hooked up to my bank, and managed my credit card. The interface is smooth and easy to use.

Quicken Basic is the Firefox of financial planning software. Bare bones, easy to use, and fast.

Five Stars! It's still a great product!
