Quicken Deluxe 2009

Hi, Charlie.

I've been using Q2009 Deluxe for about a month now, moving up from Q2008 Deluxe. I update every year or two. As usual, Q2009's interface has a new look that takes some getting used to, but that's to be expected. Quicken still performs just about the way we've come to expect: mostly good, but with some irritating wrinkles. Overall, I like it a little better, but that's a matter of personal opinion and taste - and you won't know until you try it yourself.

One improvement that I appreciate but that might not matter to you is that the problem with scrolling in Quicken Reports seems to be fixed. With my Microsoft laser 6000 mouse, in the last few versions of Quicken, reports and some registers would scroll UP but not down, no matter which way I spun the mouse wheel. In Q2009, it works properly.

We won't know about TurboTax for another month or two. I tried direct import/export in several prior years with mixed - mostly unhappy - results. I'll probably try it again when TurboTax arrives.

I usually wait until TT is released. Places like Staples, Office Depot, etc., will have deals involving buying it and rebates on other packages. Staples usually has the best offers. They used to sell Deluxe on sale that made it free after the rebate. Not the past couple of years, though...

This also gives Intuit the opportunity to issue 0ne or more updates and we get the experiences of firs updaters....

Thanks you both for your replies. I think I will wait for TT and then see about Q2009 at that time.
