Quicken 2008 Deluxe [OLD VERSION]I was pleasantly suprised to find that all my old Quicken 2002 data loaded with no problem onto Quicken 2008 Delux. Well worth the price. Only negative is that it has a tendancy to freeze when backing up to a flash drive. But I find it to work very well otherwise.
Rating: - More added feathers now bloated pig
I have been using quicken since it first arrived on the market, it was a simple manage your check book program that worked well, and still does. For some reason like all software developers they feel more is better. It now has become this bloated monster with no end in site. I use less than 25 percent of what this program now offers and the rest I could care less about. I do all my banking on line and all I need this program to do is to download the information so I can reconsile it. My bank offers scheduling of payments, reminders and other feathers that I no longer need quicken for. Its great for my year end taxes but I do not port this infortmaion into any tax program, I pay people to do my taxes all they want to know is where the money went. I suggest that you buy the most basic program and not spend a penny more for all the garbage that they have stuffed into the more DELUX PROGRAM, unless you really think your your going to use it.
Rating: - Quicken but No PayPal Support
I have Quicken 2005 and upgraded to Quicken 2008 because it touted PayPal support. Support is not supported by Quicken. Quicken wants your PayPal user ID and password to create it's files. PayPal doesn't use an ID number but only an Email address. So I tried the Email address but Quicken failed.
I called PayPal and they said they do not use ID numbers, only Email addresses for customer accounts. I sent off a trouble ticket to Quicken but they never responded to my request. I still don't have PayPal support and this upgrade was simply not worth the cost. Your mileage may vary.
Rating: - Great Product
I really like how organized I have become with this program. My only grip is that there is a lot to learn up front and its not exactly fool proof. other than that i really like this program.
Rating: - Best Money Management program ever
Quicken is easy to set up, easy to use, and packed with lots of neat features. I am still exploring all of the things this great program does. Don't miss the budgeting part. I now know where my money is going and where I can take control. And balancing a check book has never been easier.
