I think it is pure arrogance telling someone to switch to the Windows version. What a joke. I am using Quicken 2006 and as long as it works well I will keep it. However, it probably won't run on Lion I would think. I plan to delay going to Lion until I hear feedback that all the bugs have been fixed.
