 J&R Music World Computer World Purchase - QuickenOct 19, 2008
My order was sent promptly and was received in good condition. I purchased the 2008 Home & Business Quicken and was able to get it for a very good price. I recommend this vendor.
Works great for business, church, and personal finances!Oct 10, 2008
I use it for business, church, and personal finance records. It works great, and has good report and chart options.
It downloads transactions from credit card and bank accounts online. However, it is a bit clumsy in how it accepts these downloaded transactions. Be careful, or it will fill in category and memo information from a memorized transaction because it recognizes the payee, but this particular transaction may not have anything to do with "Memo: Bible for Mom's Birthday" just because the payee was "Bible Depot". I guess the solution to this is to not automatically memorize transactions and to carefully edit the ones you decide to memorize.
Can't do without it!Sep 20, 2008
I've used Quicken for years now and have gone through several versions. I've never had the problems that other users have mentioned in the reviews. I use it for both my personal and business finances, and I can't imagine doing without it. Definitely recommend, and I have no desire to switch to another competing software!

 run away, run far far awayAug 20, 2008
I should have listened to the other reviews on this one. I'm still a fan of turbotax, and thought, hey this should work well with it, but was I ever wrong. Fundamentally the product has the right features and reports but it just doesn't tally well, which is after all what financial software is supposed to do. I have spent 10-15 hours just trying to get a couple of accounts to tally accurately and they never do. Its not by some large margin, but a couple hundred bucks here and there and you start to lose trust in the accounting application's fundamental capabilities. At this point I'm resigned to use it account approximately and report on "roughly" the right numbers but that really just isn't good enough for what is supposed to be basic accounting software.
One example of a bug, on credit cards from MBNA it doesn't download the interest charged, and won't let you manually put the number in when you try an reconcile.
Anyway, I would recommend people steer clear of this bloatware. You'd be better of just using excel.

The Blue Screen of Death GeneratorJul 29, 2008
After much deliberation, I upgraded from the very stable MSMoney to Quicken 2008 Home and Business. It works fine when it works, featurewise, not a whole lot diferent from comparable MSMoney version. Except for this nasty feature: As you work along in quicken, quicken decides it is time to reboot your PC, so you get the infamous windows Blue Screen and pop, you are rebooting, whether you like it or not.
Support is useless, unless you want to pay to train their support staff and do the Quality Assurance and Testing on their product. Big mistake, now I have to re-convert everything back to MS Money.
