This product is a joke. Almost no capability and yet priced as high as the regular Quicken products. You can buy several shareware products on the market that have MORE capability, and FAR less bugs for 20-40 bucks less. It is absolutely amazing just how little is here. Many of the shareware developers are part time people who have full time jobs on the side and still manage to code better products with MUCH more capability.

First off the new features are great. After using this a couple of days I am very disappointed. I did a clean installation on a new hard disk and basic features that worked fine in 2011 no longer work. Online Banking returns a cc-501 error code and despite troubleshooting instructions from the Quicken website I can not get it to work. Memorize Payee no longer works. Used to when you type a Payee Name it would automatically be memorized.

I installed the product on a Windows 7 64 bit machine with a Blu-Ray drive. The software worked fine with Blu-Ray movies and no problems were observed. During a 2 week usage period I did not experience any crashes or stability problems. The program ran very smoothly and I am very pleased with it. I did find an update available for it and installed it prior to testing.

The software installed and worked without problems on both a OS X 10.11 and a Win 10 system. Overall the software worked really smoothly and I felt the learning curve was not very steep. Past experience with Corel software has been very positive and I have found they provide really good support if a problem arises.
Highly recommended

The software installed without problems on a Win 8.1 system. The software was very easy to learn and use. During a month of testing I experienced no stability or other types of problems. As compared to Quickbooks Pro the software works extremely well and has about the same learning curve. In the past Sage has been good about releasing patches for any significant problems in its software and I feel confident they will for this also if something comes up.

The software installed without problems on an iMac with OS 10.11. Prior to testing I made sure all the latest updates were installed. Each application worked well on my machine with an SSD. On a hard disk the software will take much longer to start up then Office 2011 did because of the increased executable size of the software. One thing I noticed is that it is still not possible to import your contacts from Mac address book directly into Outlook.

I installed the product on a 10.7.2 system. The product installed easily and worked without issues. The feature set is somewhat different than Quickbooks on Windows. I installed the R3 update prior to testing. I consistently have better luck with the Mac versions on initial release than the Windows versions. Smooth operation, useful features, and a just plain good user experience.

I tested this software on both Windows Vista SP1 and Mac OS 10.5.6 this past weekend and it seems to work fine on both. I used a new Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet with the software. The software seems fairly easy to learn how to use and I think for the amount of money asked(under $100) it is a great product. One thing I really appreciated is that Autodesk does not seem to use irritating product activation like a lot of software companies do these days.

This software incorporates several new features to each of the programs in the iLife suite with the exception of iDVD which is exactly the same as in iLife 08. I rated the product 4 stars instead of 5 only because iDVD received no update. The software installed without problems. iPhoto 09 is much improved and all new features seem to work for me right out of the box. Be sure and update iPhoto via Apple Software Update to fix some of the problems found in it.

The software installed and worked well overall on a Win 8.1 64 bit system. Word, Excel, Powerpoint , Access all had a mostly familiar toolbar layout and were very easy to get used to. The software contains an automatic update mechanism that worked quite well. This software has only one major problem: Microsoft has limited the number of allowed installs to one computer only. Additional installs like on to a laptop are prohibited.
