Quicken Deluxe 2006 Personal Finance Software review:
5 stars (Excellent upgrade!) - I have been using Quicken on a continuous basis since 1994, upgrading when program quits estimating my taxes (2-3 years). This is probably the best upgrade I remember, well worth purchasing. The 2 best new features for me:



- Attaching a note or document or reminder to a transaction

- Finding transactions across accounts and then being able to globally or selectively edit



There are several other improvements also. Program installed easily on my XP computer, 10 years data converted correctly, and can still download the 5 accounts as I did before. After 2 weeks using, everything works as should.



A good upgrade, in my opinion!
1 stars (QIF imports eliminated.) - Quicken wants to rule the financial software world but I think they are will do the opposite. They have eliminated QIF imports so that they can force you to use a format that almost no one supports. Stick with Quicken 2007 and you will still be able to import your transactions from your financial institution. I wish I hadn't wasted my money.
2 stars (I have come to loathe Quicken) - I have used Quicken for about 3 months, and find that it is a royal pain to work with. There are many many features, but it doesn't take long, even when setting up new accounts, that you have to hack together imperfect ways of handling all kinds of transactions. I haven't tried Money yet, but I can't believe that it's worse than this.
