Seriously?
I am an Amazon Vine member, and a Quicken User since the mid 1980s. I figured I was well qualified to take a look at the 2013 version and see what new features it added.
I got as far as the install screen. There I was informed that this version of Quicken would:
1. Wipe out my existing version of Quicken installed on my PC; and
2. Not be able to read any of my existing datafiles.
In short, total loss of banking services until I dug up the old install disks and reloaded. There was no warning of this on the box or the product page.
You must be kidding. I've long since learned to tolerate Intuit's forced obsolescence policy, whereby data formats "expire" every couple years, but this is a new low. With the possible exception of my address book, my financial database is the most valuable of my personal data, and I don't react kindly to Intuit playing games with my ability to access it.
I removed the CD from my drive, carefully packed it back into the original product box, and dropped the whole thing into the trash.
On the positive side, this version of Quicken was 100% compatible with my office garbage can.
