CNET's Rafe Needleman is a long-time Quicken user, yet he chose this mean-spirited headline for his piece:
This is what dying software looks like: Quicken 2012
The text of the story is not quite so foreboding. It mentions the fact that Aaron Patzer is no longer the executive in charge of Quicken. This is good news: Patzer wanted to kill off Quicken, and said so in public, without being asked first.
Needleman claims something really positive for Quicken 2012:
... it connects directly to 18,000 financial institutions, up from about 6,000.
That is a pretty major improvement, if true. It is something I did not know about Q2012 either. Thanks Needleman, I think.
