Attention Mac Users
For the love all that is good in this world...run, do not walk, RUN away from this software. Where should you run too? A copy of parallels, VM ware, or bootcamp and get the windows version of this program. Since switching to the mac I have been frustrated with this "software". It had been sometime since I had used personal financial software and the first time on a mac. I thought man....this program seems worst than my 2002 version on windows. After trying the usual suspects, liquid ledger, ibank, icash etc. I went to the windows 2008 version of quicken via parallels. Oh my god! the feature set is night and day. The windows version has about 15 essential features that the mac shows no signs of ever attempting.
Until intuit gets serious about the mac version stay away from this nonsense.

Do Something Else
Quicken is currently incapable of supporting their products. Quicken destroyed my data and the backup while corrupting the application and making it impossible to load. Customer Service is third-world in every sense of the word. Their server has been down for weeks and they don't know if or when it will be working again. You cannot register your product or install the updater.
Do not buy.

Very different than Windows version, but that's okay!
Yes, like many others when I first bought this version of Quicken I had just crossed over from windows to mac. I had some difficulty adjusting to the different interface, and a few quirks when transferring my account data over, but now that I've been using it exclusively for about 5 months it is just great. If you're switching from PC to Mac, just think of this as a different product and don't expect the exact same features. I find this one actually easier now that I've used it. I was just used to where everything was in the windows world since I had been using that for so long.
Here are the things that I think can be improved on the Mac version:
+ there's no way to sort the account register by amount. You can only sort by date and the check number field. I like to sort by amount sometimes so I can find a specific dollar amount (minor irritation)
+ the reporting feature is a bit cumbersome. If you're like me, you'll want to just click the buttons and get your report created without having to read the documentation. I managed to get what I needed without the help screens, but it was still a bit of work. Thinking back, I had this same problem with the Windows version, so this is not a Mac vs Windows issue - it's an overall Quicken issue.
+ I was really annoyed with the way it connected to my online banking accounts when I first started using this version. I think it can still be improved like the Windows version. With the Windows version, one click from inside Quicken and it's connecting to my bank and downloading the latest transactions for all my accounts. With the Mac version I have to login to my bank then download each account's activity file. Now that I'm used to it, it is less irritating to me, but it still would be nice to have that one click feature back.
What I do like about the Mac version:
It works. It does what I want it to do and it does it well. I don't need to keep a Windows computer around just to do my banking. When I switched to Mac, I switched to Mac - it's all or nothing for me.
I don't do a lot of finance work with Quicken, never did. I just keep track of my checking, savings and credit cards. I know there are a lot more features should I ever need them. But I like simple, quick and easy. Quicken 2007 for the Mac works for me.

Sad to say, but buy Microsoft Money instead
Had been using MS Money on a PC for 10 years then bought a Mac. Didn't want to contaminate my mac with MS software so bought Quicken. Bad choice. Found it very confusing especially the bill pay part. Maybe I didn't give it enough time (1 month) or read any instructions (I didn't read any for MS Money), but I eventually bought Parallels so I could reinstall MS Money. Back to paying bills and doing all my financial things just fine. If you are recent PC to Mac convert think again about Quicken.

Quicken 2007 for Mac a dog
I have used Quicken on a Mac since 1992 and, because of previous problems with upgrades, I tend to put it off. However, my Quicken 2000 now operates only in Classic mode and I'm at Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger). So an upgrade to Quicken 2007 seemed in order. Having used Quicken for many years the file size has naturally grown and Quicken 2007 repeatedly crashed during the attempt to convert my 2000 version to 2007. The crash code Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE usually means the program is trying to grab memory that doesn't belong to it and Quicken 2007 has the memory fixed at 20 MB rather than dynamic as most programs in Tiger do.Nor is it possible to increase the memory size for Quicken 2007.
Quicken 2007 did successfully convert a 10-year-old file that was only 1.7 MB in size so there appears to be a programming error regarding memory allocation.
Quicken support was useless in this case, with ridiculous suggestions like converting to a .QIF file and importing that to Quicken 2007, which didn't work, or stuffing and unstuffing the file before trying the conversion. No concern about memory allocation ever penetrated to their support group.
Also, despite carefully backing up my old data, the conversion attempt somehow wiped out all the price information for my investments in Quicken 2000 dating back 15 years. Fortunately, transaction data was preserved in the backups. But my only chance at recovery seems to be a manual input of data.

I'm not sure why this article was written, as there appears to be nothing particularly newsworthy in it: The News.com reporter Marguerite Reardon has covered muni-Fi for as long as I have, and after reading this in-depth piece, I'm left wondering whether it was assigned far too early, and she was meeting an editorial desk requirement instead of feeling like the story was ready to "print." The article looks at Network Acquisition Corp. (NAC), the allegedly interim name for the group that's taken over Phila-Fi.
