Believe the bad reviews, June 5, 2005
This review is from: Quicken(R) 2005 Deluxe (Office Product)
Quicken is horrible. Just plain horrible. I've been fighting with this program for the last several years and have finally had enough. No more tech support calls, no more software reloads, I'm done. I just changed laptops, loaded Quicken Deluxe 2005, went to pull up my checking account file that I faithfully back up onto an external hard drive, and poof! It's gone. Oh, there's a version from February there, but that was about umpteen thousand transactions ago. User error? Maybe. But if it's that easy to lose a file, I need a new program. Goodbye, Quicken. You suck.

Used Quicken for over 10 years. Always hope the next version will correct the bugs; never happens. If you track a lot of investments the database will get corrupt. Support is fee based even for bugs. Interface is cumbersome.

Don't believe all the bad Reviews!!!, January 4, 2005
This review is from: Quicken(R) 2005 Deluxe (Office Product)
I have used Quicken for 8 years. Have upgraded 3 times.
I read all the bad reviews, wondered if i did the right thing buying this time.
People said there were no opt. out for the online stuff, WRONG, they should read the boxes before they click, YES..
This is Fine, looks clean, works Fine. I installed it clean on another computer to make sure. It converted my old backup just fine.. Yes it uses a different backup file ext. BooHoo
As long as i can back it up, who cares.. I have never had to use the backup anyway.
I say, Install it clean, read the boxes that pop up before you click YES, and you will like this.
Yes it has extra stuff i don't use, but all the others did also.
Nuff Said
