Doesn't work with older versions of Quicken, and no upgrade path for folks with older versions who now have Macs.
Rating: - Not for stock day traders and Mac users! Worse than last years.
If you're a day trader (and a Mac user), you might be better off filling out your tax return by hand. Something changed this year in TurboTax that doesn't allow you to quickly input your stock transactions. And TurboTax seems to run alot slower on the Mac.
Unlike last year's where you could skip the "Easy Step" and go straight to the forms to directly input your transactions, now you are forced to either use the excruciatingly slow "Easy Step" or use the so-called Capital Gains "Speed Entry" Worksheet. And if you've had hundreds of transactions, "Easy Step" would require you to spend a few days to input all of them. And if you decide to use the Speed Entry Worksheet, you'd have to input each transaction in its entirety, not just the cost basis that your financial institution forgets to send you.
Note that this CD comes with both the Mac and PC version. I tried them both and it seems the PC version is a little faster when it comes to editing stock transactions.
Since the deadline's just a few days away, I'll just suck it up and use TurboTax's "Easy Step" to edit all of my transactions. Too bad I can't just used TurboTax 2006 for 2007's tax return.

I love Turbo Tax! It takes me through doing my taxes one step at a time. Definately one of my favorite products!
Rating: - did my pretty simple return
My return is very simple, one job with a mortgage, 401K, real estate taxes. Not very complicated.
Rating: - great product
I use this every year and so far I have reason to switch. Plus if you use this product in back to back years it fills in all you information from memory. My tax situation is not all that complex so I can't say if it really gets all the deductions or not nevertheless I think its a quality product.

"[D]uring its time of evaluation, Honeycrisp, being a beautiful but partially-colored apple, effectively waited in the wings until the big stage was set. I'm not saying the University would not have introduced Honeycrisp against the tide of Red and Golden. I don't know that. It just takes years to get to the point of taking the leap, and maybe 1991 would have been the leaping point regardless of the current. But there's no doubt Honeycrisp jumped into a very favorable current, one that had been started with Granny Smith and had gained irreversible momentum with Gala and Fuji. Its time had come.
But even when your time has come, if you're an apple, it'll still be a while. There are millions of Honeycrisp trees in the ground right now, but a production ranking is nowhere in sight. Like Gala, Honeycrisp will take a few more years before it climbs out of the "All Others" category.
So, if you're David Bedford, and you evaluated a variety for many years until 1991 and then released it, and it's been out now for well over a decade and it's still in "All Others," you've done a wonderful job. That's just the speed of this game. Honeycrisp is on a meteoric rise. This is a thing that's happening very fast, in apple terms."
