Quicken 2008Strengths: Permits downloading of financial data from banks etc. Weakness: complex Entering quaterly statements from financial institutions and banks is now cumbersome, but one-step downloading seems to work. When I tried to print personal networth data sheets, the preview window is larger than my PC screen. Some buttons can hardley be reached, Screen can't be moved. Seems like a program error. But networth data sheet prints correctly.

QuickenStrengths: peforms as promised Weakness: they force you to buy an upgrade every 3 years even if you don't need an upgrade Quicken is a good product and helps me track finances effectively. My only complain is that I don't like to be forced to buy upgrades when I don't want them.

What a Rip-off from QuickenStrengths: Similar to Quicken 2005 Weakness: Not a significant update I am a happy user of Quicken 2005, until a couple of months ago, when Quicken announces to cease web download function by end of April. That forces me to upgrade to the 2008 version. Both versions are almost identical. Even the basic 2008 version does not convert the old 2005 data, and forces you to go to “Deluxe” version, which is overkill if you just use Quicken to for personal banking and...

Quicken 2008Strengths: Stable software. Weakness: No option to not use new Tab feature. I was using Quicken 2006 very effectively with Windows XP. When I got a new Dell XPS running Vista I found that Q2006 would not run the Help system, so I upgraded to 2008. While everything went very well installing the upgrade, I ran into the usual big nuisance to get it configured to access all my financial institutions, setting up passwords, etc. My biggest gripe is that a new feature concept...

Stock Price Updates do not work after January 17,...Strengths: Good Check book register Weakness: Quicken is NOT supporting customers and stock price updates did not work temporarily See over 180 comments on this problem on Quicken Community Forum. They fixed it temporarily on January 20-22, then mutual fund prices stopped downloading again. This is extremely frustrating for those that track their investments.

Updating stock prices and quoted a continuing problemStrengths: About the same as prior versions Weakness: about the same as prior versions I have noted a continuing problem with downloading quotes for my portfolio. sometimes it takes several tries to update and as of today(1/21/08), I still can't update for 1/18/08. I have contacted Quicken and they are aware of problem ans "are working to resolve server issues", but they have been aware of problems since at least Apr, 07. I feel I wastesd time and money upgrading to 2008, but they...

quicken 2008 deluxe reviewStrengths: can connect to banks and credit card companies and download data Weakness: too complicated; many functions that are not intuitive. I did not use Quicken or any financial software before. I just needed something that can keep track of my expences and can automatically download data from a bank or a credit card company, i.e. some sort of automatic checkbook. This program can do all this and also much more. HOWEVER, MANY FUNCTIONS ARE TOO COMPLICATED. IN ADDITION, NO PAPER MANUAL IS PROVIDED. SOME COMMANDS ARE NOT INTUITIVE.

Not sure it's worth upgrading over 2007Strengths: The usual Quicken features for tracking spending and financial situation. Integration with financial institutions for downloading transactions. Weakness: Don't really see many new features over the previous version. I honestly don't think it's worth the money. They have added a few new things but nothing really great. For example, the Vista gadget is a nice touch but to me it feels useless. It only shows a small calendar with icons for the days when transactions are scheduled, not actual dates, just days of the weeks. The other tab shows a list with counts of Upcoming transactions, checks to print, and a...

Using Quicken 2008 to make my money work for meStrengths: Intuitive, extensive, easy to update online accounts, reporting is right on target, has spending plan and budget plan separated and presented in easy to use Weakness: Wachovia requires $6 monthly service fee to use auto update This the best financial spending plan software I have used. It keeps up with everything!! Quicken will automatically assign the category "Ballet" I created as soon as the charge is updated in the credit card register during Quicken's auto update. The reports are priceless and are easy to create, read and modify. There are times when a transaction may come in twice which is easy to fix, but if the...

Quicken Deluxe 2008
THE GOOD: Quicken 2008 works with more than 5,300 online financial institutions, offers some helpful feature and interface improvements, adds new Bill Minder Gadget for Windows Vista users, TurboTax integration, free chat, and e-mail help. THE BAD: Quicken 2008 is a minor upgrade with few new features; installation dumps icons on your Windows desktop. THE BOTTOM LINE: Quicken 2008 is a solid... TopAdvertisement

Strengths: Connects to most financial institutions, gives you a good variety o charts and graphs.
Weakness: Doesn't understand that the $100 payment to Electric Co. on the 1st is the same thing as the scheduled payment to the Electric Co. for $100 on the 1st. Nags you about it until you tell it to skip.
It definitely beats an excel sheet that you have to update by hand, but has a lot of quirks. Not that much of an improvement over 2007, unless you need it to connect to some bank that 2007 won't.
