Quicken 2009

August?

Usually, it's August. But, with Intuit following in the footsteps of Creative, support-wise, I won't be "upgrading" until forced with a pointed stick.

I've been holding onto my Quicken 2002...hoping that Quicken 2009 will FINALLY get it!!!! So many of the quirks in Quicken are just so damn simple from a systems standpoint to fix....yet...Intuit seems stuck in the mud. I have to wonder WTF they do in their huge building, here in Edmonton, Alberta. Now that I lost D/L stock prices (31 December 2007) I am considering going for Q2009 when it is eventually released. Surely it can't be any worse than 2008??!!

Wanna bet!

Usually, late summer.

I have to wonder what useful features will be removed in Q2009....

None. In another sign of our worsening economy, they will merely degrade and break some existing features, instead of removing them outright.

Unbelievable.... It's not even out and it's being bashed already..... :-(

If you folks dislike it so much, why are you here??

Q2009 is not being bashed, Intuit's customer-antagonistic attitude is being criticized.

My comment stands.....

To keep the pressure on. The bashings will continue until the product improves.

Since it's not yet out, there's nothing to like or dislike. What I do dislike, however, is the process where Intuit stopped supporting some of its old programs (for which the owners and users paid and used with satisfaction) when they issued Q2008. To my way of thinking, that's little more than commercial extortion not far removed from the kind of extortion that society considers to be a felony.

It may seems tempting to call it extortion, but - sorry - no go.

Extortion:

1. An exorbitant charge
2. Unjust exaction (as by the misuse of authority) "the extortion by dishonest officials of fees for performing their sworn duty"
3. The felonious act of extorting money (as by threats of violence)

Actually, society calls it PROGRESS. Intuit is not motivated by TRUTH or HONESTY. Their main interest is SURVIVAL. Not unlike the human condition.

So, you nitpicked my use of words..........but a pig by any other name is still a pig. Incidentally, the original question invited readers to express their opinions, which I did. My heart aches because you were unable to accept the verbiage I chose to use. IOW, whatever YOU wish to call what I described, I still think it sucks; you don't have to agree with me but you do have to at least allow me to express my opinion in response to the invitation to do so.

albeit, rather wobbly.
