Software Reviews of Quicken 2008 Premier [OLD VERSION]

Customer Review: Worst PC Software to Manager Your Financial Data
Summary: 1 Stars

I've used all sorts of PC software for more than 20 years, and Quicken is without a doubt the lowest quality commercial software available. It's really quite terrifying, because if you use Quicken for a number of years, it ends up holding all of your financial data, which is vital for investing and taxes. How would you like this precious data held hostage by an unbearably slow, bloated, and buggy program?

The annual upgrades always focus on adding more features of dubious value and rearranging the user interface rather than improving the quality of the program by fixing bugs.

I've been using Quicken for about 20 years, since the DOS days! I now use it on Windows, and I'm stuck because it holds all my data. Think twice (no, 10 times!) before you entrust it with yours.
