Well, I just discovered what the latest QD 2008 update did - added more advertising. While there have always been cross promotion ads in Quicken, lately they were limited to smaller, unobtrusive text links.
Now, there's a dedicated tab on the main screen titled "Quicken Picks" that consists of nothing but advertising. Even more interesting - if you let it, the program will analyze all your personal financial infomation and provide you "targeted" advertising. Riiiiight....
