Summary: Decline of Quicken
Comment: Ditto to this review:

"I have been a Quicken user since it was a DOS application back in the mid `80s. It has always been a very good and reliable product. However: Quicken 2006 is by far the worst release of Quicken Intuit has ever produced. "

Today it cannot even print a simple report, while all other software on my system is functioning with out problems.

This just proves software should not be purchased on past history alone...

Summary: Do not buy if you want to write checks with it
Comment: I have used quicken for years. I bought a new computer and got an upgrade(at least I thought so) with it. It is not user friendly. I tried to use the check writing part. You have to order checks through Intuit with your name address and bank numbers on them. The only thing you can do is put the amount who it is to and a check number on it. What is the use if you cannot print the whole check with a blank form. What a waste this is! I am throwing mine away and getting something else. I would not recomend this to my worst enemy!

Summary: You will hate yourself if you buy this
Comment: The only thing I can think about Intuit and their release of Quicken 2006 is that they hate their customers and care only about greed and themselves. After years of using quicken, I have to throw quicken out because only a handful of banks use their new OFX format (for which banks must pay $1000's in fees) and you cannot use QIF for any savings or checking account, meaning that they disabled this feature forcing millions of customers to either manually enter transactions for their banks or just throwing out Quicken 2006 which is what I am doing. This program demonstates everything that is wrong with a company that dominates a software sector. I hope they go bankrupt very soon. I will never buy from them again.

Summary: A complete waste of money.
Comment: I have used earlier versions of Quicken and found them very useful. I recently bought a new computer with Windows XP and found the existing package did not work well with it so purchased Quicken Basic 2006, hoping it would be as useful. It has been a disaster. First it locked me out of my existing files, which had not been password protected, by demanding a password, which I did not have, before I could gain access. The Company's help screen offered a password unlocking service (for a fee) but would not let me use this service because I had a U.K. address and it would only accept addresses in the U.S.A. An e-mail asking for help and advice received no reply. A long expensive phone call to the Company's customer services department yielded, after half an hour, a promise to deal with the matter within 48 hours, but no action whatsoever.
In desperation I tried to start a new date file but was not able to register the product as, again, I did not have a U.s. address. There is no warning on the product that it cannot be used outside the U.S. I have now uninstalled the product and am looking for an alternative.

Summary: Quicken Basic 2006
Comment: The product is ok. It is very similar to MS Money. It does not have a clean, or appealing interface like Money does. When I connected to my bank to update my accounts it required me to change my password. Then didn't allow me in my account with the new password. I then could not even access my account through a web browser. I found several other reviewers that had the same or similar issues. If you want to be able to update your accounts via web, I would buy MS Money 2006. I purchased Money 2006 and haven't had a single issue.
