Review by Buzz Stephens

I’ve been using Quicken since the MS-DOS versions – for over 20 years now. Overall, I’ve been quite pleased with the program – EXCEPT for Intuit’s regrettable practice of releasing new upgrades(?) prematurely. For six months or so following a new release, the program is frequently unusable, untrustworthy, and utterly frustrating. Accordingly, I’ve adopted the practice of installing a newer version every five years or so. In this case, I just installed 2011 to replace 2006. Happily, the installation was a success, and my version 2006 files have converted, intact, including all the custom reports I have created over the years. Replacement was necessitated at this time by my switching from XP to Windows 7 (2006 wouldn’t print with Win 7).
