I wouldn't mind a free upgrade either.
Thanks!
Thanks
I still use it, but it's quite useless as a piece of software to actively manage my finances. It's more of a overall picture of my finances and a planning tool for me.

Thanks!
Capital One worked with MS Money and the online Quicken. The bank's website indicates that they connect to Quicken, but they must mean the online version, not the expensive application.
You should check on your institutions before you buy Quicken 2010.
I am a veteran user of Quicken, since DOS versions, but had to give up on Q2009. I'm using Q2008 and hoping this new version will have solved the problems.
Maybe this is my chance to try Quicken!!

Quicken has its problems with constant revisions, which sometimes take away favorite features and add some that we could live without. But it does allow you to really track everything you need to know about your financial situation. You don't have to keep track of every time you put 25 cents into a parking meter unless you want to, But I can get marvelous reports at tax time, keep track of loans and debts, investment history, and small business activities.
I've played with MINT and it's fine just to see what you've spent and earned, but there is, so far, no way to enter check you write that have not yet cleared, so you really don't know what your balances are when planning an expense transaction. And, if the web goes down or a cloud server loses its data, you're up the creek, not having records on your desktop.
It's going to be interesting to see what Mint does with Quicken in the Merger, since Mint's leader is becoming head of the Quicken products.
Also I am now a fan of Consumerism Commentary on Facebook!!

Good luck everyone!
As when Quicken released first few releases (1992), I have bought and happily used them, every week or other day, I input manually each transaction, which includes checks deposit, checks cashed, credit card transaction, then when I receive the statement of each bank, I do compare them. T
hen slowly after 4-5 years, banks allow their clients be able to download they online statements in Quicken or Money format, I was happied to download them each month and imported to Quicken.
If I remember correctly, started from 2002-2003, Quicken was able to download the statements/transactions directly from the banks, It put me at easy, which have saved me lots of time.
And for the past three years, Bank of America, has allowed their clients to not just download the text transaction, they do allow their clients ALSO to download the bank checks images (front and back) for each checks deposit and checks cashed. I
am still using 2006 version, 3 years ago, I have called Quicken tech-supp and expressed my request/wish/expect that Intuit improve/enhance/add the feature that could automatically download also the check images that available. I guess, maybe there are not much demand; therefore Intuit did not implement this feature.
Now a days, the storages in PC and Internet bandwidth no longer an issue. and would be great that you can review and commend it. if you add your comment in your review, I bet, Intuit will wake up their developers and marketing team.
I would not absolutely purchase another release of Quicken, just because, they have improved the cosmetic and GUI. I will wait and will upgrade every 4-5 years/releases. But, once I know they implemented that feature, I will run out buy a copy at once.
To whom that does not have Quicken yet, it's maybe worthy to buy it, people can buy older version for much cheaper cost - unless you just upgraded or have Windows 7, then you may have to buy 2010 version.
