Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Save your money. Quicken 2008 is 2007 with a couple of changes. The changes aren't even flashy changes, just a few tabs added that you already had access to.
Bugs found in the first 10 minutes of using the software:
1. Mouse wheel does not scroll down on certain windows...only up. Known in 2007. Fixed on some windows, but not of others.
2. If you have a large data set say in your 401k, refresh times can exceed 30 seconds. Known in 2007. Not fixed.
3. No way to export as you could in every previous version. Huge problem on 2007. Not fixed.
New bugs:
1. Installation took over 1 hour. Not an hour of my computer thinking. An hour of switching on and off antivirus. An hour of rebooting. An hour of running in Admin mode. Honestly, I don't know how I got the software installed in the end. This is not a Vista issue. It is an Intuit issue. BITA to put it mildly.
Intuit is not listening. Customers are asking for simple features like quick response, the ability to manage savings bonds efficiently, and I have been a faithful Quicken customer since 1986 (over 20 years!). I'm tempted to take Microsoft Money up on their latest product. If I'm satisfied, this product gets returned. Microsoft Money will even translate the Quicken 2007 files.
Intuit...are you listening? We do not want to sign up for more credit cards and look at flashy graphics. We want manage our money in an efficient manner. Get your damn marketing (Evident by the marketing cr*p on your site. User opinion 2 weeks before the public release. Do you think we're stupid?) and business people out of the picture and let the engineers do what they use to...code useable software.
The only part of the software I am pleased with is the Sidebar Gadget. But again...I've only used it for 10 minutes. It hasn't crashed...yet. 2008 on the other hand 4 times!
I've made my point. 1-star. The lowest rating I've every given. Don't buy this software.
