Forbes on Intuit

Hi, Robert.

Thanks for the link. Interesting article.

The most significant part for us Quicken users is that all of us put together are not a significant blip on Intuit's radar. :>( Those bullets you quoted make that pretty clear.

Forbes Magazine recently ran a profile on Intuit. Some surprising bullets from the article:

- $4B in Revenue, $17B in Valuation, 8000 Employees

- QuickBooks and TurboTax have 90% of their respective markets

- Still a priority to replace packaged software with cloud apps. 45 million out of 60 million customers have converted, up from 10 million in 2008.

- Intuit offers 55 different mobile apps

- Aaron Patzer (Mint Founder) has apparently removed his foot from his mouth and is still involved with product design. The article skipped over the Quicken fiasco.

Unfortunately, that's a true statement. We're funding all those experimental new products. Well, Quicken is a mature product and as long as they keep it functional on the latest Win OS, I'll be happy.
