Here is a long article/rant about Intuit, Quicken and alternatives: http://scottworldblog.wordpress.com/2011/05/23/why-does-intuit-hate-mac-users-and-why-doesnt-apple-save-us/ As for people thinking of taking Intuit's lame advice to switch to the Windows version, there are plenty of posts which say that the Windows version cannot read the Mac version's data properly. Since I have Parallels on my computer, I'm tempted to install Snow Leopard as a virtual machine and keep using my Quicken 2003 until there is something which both can be used easily and can import old data properly. Shoot, even if Intuit works out a hacked up solution with Apple for running Quicken 2007, it would seem weird to update to a very old version of Quicken. Sheesh, Bill
