Summary: Stick with Quicken 2001
Review: I've been a Quicken user since 4.0, and this 2004 version is awful (I upgraded from 2001). The new program is hard to use. I wish there was a way to convert back to 2001. Also, technical support via Chat is awful; the end conclusion for every problem is that you have to reinstall the software.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Same old, same old
Review: I've used Quicken and QuickBooks for more than a few years and I find it disturbing that Intuit finds ways to force the user to update his or her software. The required update has nothing to do with the user's need for new features. It's all about Intuit keeping the milk flowing from its cash cow.

I haven't had the troubles some have reported they have had with the software. I just do not see the benefits flowing to me from my upgrade from Quicken 2000 to Quicken 2004. I'd imagine I'll need to buy another version in a few years, when Intuit changes the color scheme for the user interface...

Summary: A Quicken User Since Version 2.0!
Review: I've used Quicken since 1994 when I bought my first computer and Quick 2.0 came preinstalled. Since then I've tried MS-Money twice. I keep going back to Quicken. It's intuitive, logical and makes reconciling the check book a breeze. I admit that my finaces are fairly simple and others may need the deluxe or small business versions of the program, but I think for the average person the basic program is perfect. I don't upgrade every year. I don't think there's a need to. I up grade about every two to three years. The program is very stable. I haven't had problems with bugs or crashes in any version. I highly recommend it.

Summary: The Worst Version of Quicken Yet!
Review: This software has gone from great in the 90's to terrible for the past few years. In 2004, there are NO OPTIONS for register colors - just all white. There are NO program color schemes. There is advertising at bottom that cannot be removed. While using splits, the error of not being able to open the category list, that appeared in the 2003 version, has not been fixed in 2004! BEWARE - files updated to 2003 or 2004 versions will not work on older, MUCH BETTER versions. You will be stuck with having to use the worst versions yet!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Help, Can't Register This Program!
Review: Yes, it's a good product, but I simply cannot register this product! It keeps sending "connection unsuccesful" messages whenever I attempt to send my information. I figure it has to do with the fact that I have direct internet connection. Geez!
