Review Summary: Waste of time
Review: This is a bad program designed to fatten Intuit and leave the purchaser with little of value. I have used Quickbooks for many years but i am sick of Intuit and its greedy business practices. Impossible to download data even with a QIF to OFX conversion program.

Review Summary: A much needed update!
Review: I have been a long time user of quicken and MS Money but always seem to gravitate back to quicken. However I have not been very happy with 02 and 04 versions of quicken. They were buggy, ran slow, had issues with downloading data.
The pin vaults were a complete disaster and the investment tracking tools were below what Money offers. However I got a deal on this version and I couldn't pass it up. I figured if it was not any better than forget quicken and MS will get my nod.
But boy how I am impressed. The flawless upgrade procedure was nice and even though quicken has added new features its ease of use still remains. The software is even more intuitive and most users will never need to use a manual.
The biggest pros however are the speed increase in just about everything. The program loads quicker, downloads are fast, even transitioning through my multiple accounts is quick. Quicken has finally gotten quick again.
One last comment on the hoopla between QIF and QDF. QIF files are older outdated ways of storing data. They cause the program to run slower and have needless information. QDF files are fast and efficient, I just wonder why so many people here are complaining about a much needed upgrade. This is akin to you complaining that your new computer doesn't have a floppy drive. Come on folks get real I still have not found any financial institution (Bank, Credit Cards, Investment houses, etc) that doesn't support the better file format.
I highly endorse this upgrade!

Review Summary: Hard to understand.
Review: The original 30 minutes I devoted to setting up with info was the easy part. This program is tough to learn or understand. I have no problem with Photo Shop, Flash or Quick Books Pro but this is crazy. I'll try something else.

Review Summary: Not Bad, QIF Can be Made to Work
Review: I have used several previous versions of Quicken, 98 Standard and 2000 and 2003 Home and Business. I thought 2003 was more style than substance, and 2006 simply continues that trend. Very little functionality has been added in the last few years, just prettier menus.
Still, it works. I agree that the invoice formatting options are limited, but Intuit really wants you to use QuickBooks for that, anyway. As for the QIF file import problem, simply create an Asset account and call it "QIF Import" or whatever. Download the QIF file manually and import it to that account (allowed for an asset account), then cut and paste the transactions into the proper account. You may even be able to set up the asset account for direct download. A pain, I know, but it beats entering the data by hand.
At any rate, Quicken Premier Home & Business 2006 functions as well as the other recent versions. It just requires a little finesse to work around Intuit's artificial, revenue generating obstructions.
