update/upgrade

Remember, most people who make the time and energy to comment online usually have problems with the product.... I've been using QP2010 since it came out, and I really like it. It ran fine on WinXP SP3, and I've now upgraded to Win7 64-bit, and it runs even faster. (I think the 8GB RAM and i7 core processor helps. ;-)

Even though I've paid for Premier, I believe other more active investors have said the Deluxe version is just fine. I do agree though, that Intuit makes it sound like you need Premier if you track investments. AFAIK, that's not true.

Look at

This program works very well.

Of course, Q2006 also works very well for this, and it is already set up with your investments. Prices can be downloaded from the internet and imported into Q.

There is an active thread this past week on programs to use to download prices from the internet. I personally use Yahoo Finance to download prices to a .csv file which can be imported into .

I concur: Deluxe will handle investments, and I don't see any general deal-breaker problems in Q2010. But ex-Money users will find Quicken takes some getting used to.

[Q2010 R9 is due out shortly; which should take care of some of the outstanding complaints.]

Thanks to those that have replied. Nice to know latest Deluxe version can still handle investments. I posted here as I'm aware that people with problems/complaints are more likely to post to avg "user reviews/comments" than experienced users regardless of product. Three decent replies so far. :)

As I'm running XP SP3, was nice to read latest version still works well for that OS.

Thanks again.

I got R9 this morning.

I would hardly say that it is "universal" that folks dislike Q10. There have been numerous folks who posted positive opinions.

I installed it (on top of Q09) and find it quite good. The biggest problem you will run into is the interface and backups. They've made

*MAJOR* changes since Q06.

As others have pointed out, the nature of newsgroups is that negative reviews and problems tend to outweigh the "I have no problems" posts.

Also, if you were to look back at this ng after each major release, you'll see the same volume of "I hate..." posts.

I second Hank's sentiments. While I think that many changes, especially in the gui, are changes just for the sake of changing something, I think that there is a slow improvement over the years in Quicken. I just wish that they would be more in the form of updates, rather than upgrades. IMNSHO, a subscription model is what Quicken should aim for now the software has really matured.

Every once in a while a new idea or methodology might warrant an upgrade, but most changes in the last 10-15 years have been updates, bug fixes (and bug introductions).
