3.0 out of 5 stars Virtual PC won't run Quicken 2007 (Premier Edition), September 13, 2007

By	Charles R. Cooper "thecoop" (Baltimore, MD, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a long-time Quicken user and need to manage my personal finances and investments. Quicken Mac version is not very good, and Quicken announced it is abandoning the Mac versions. I bought Virtual PC in hopes I could run Quicken for Windows; however Quicken would not install. Neither Quicken (Intuit) or Microsoft would assist me without a big fee. So, I have no overall view of Virtual PC, but be sure it's going to run the programs you want to run before you purchase it.
