I used to spend half my time repairing the registry, and scanning for unwanted files, etc.

But today when I installed Quicken Premier 2006 on my Windows XP machine at work I knew exactly how big of a deficiency I was dealing with on the Mac.

Its a HUGE difference On the Windows version the UI is smoothe like polished glass and the features are abundant.

I am insulted that Intuit would think the features of the Mac version would satisfy a Mac user.

Ooooh, Ahhhhh WTF Seems like I should at least be able to attach checkreceipt images to my cash flow transactions, as is possible in the Windows version - just to name one feature I sorely miss.

Today I read somewhere that Steve Jobs is actually on Intuits board.

WTF Whats wrong with you, Steve Either get off the board and have Apple make the worlds finest PFM for Mac, or tell Intuit to get the Mac version up to speed And we dont want a virtualized version running in XP on top of OS X.

We want a NATIVE OS X PFM app - feature-for-feature comparable with the Windows version, and with all the same financial institutions listed for online connectivity Come on people Get with the party Im disgusted with Mac programs always being left behind the Windows feature sets, UI, etc.

I did try the Windows version a few years ago and I agree what you said.

I bought Microsoft Money before looking at the Windows version of Quicken.

I thought the Windows version of Quicken was as bad as the Mac version.

The funniest thing of Quicken that I used for the Mac was some of the buttons that you would expect to bring you to other parts of the program would just be simple web links hosted by Intuit.

For crying out loud, no ETRADE among financial institutions I suppose I should be thankful that the version exists at all, but given how TurboTax for Mac is much closer to feature parity with the Windows version, it is disappointing that Quicken for Mac feels more like Quicken for Windows 1998 than 2006 edition.

I think all Steve Jobs-Bill Campbell (former CEO of Intuit) tie buys us is free QuickenQuickBook with a purchase of new Mac, along with reassurance that Intuit will continue to maintain Mac development.

Im of the opinion that it would be good for most people just to use a free, open source application customised for Mac OS X.

The Mac version of TurboTax is cut down from the Windows version but apparently works still.

As good as my experience with that was, I cant imagine actually spending money for a copy of TurboTax.

For my needs (bank accounts and credit cards) its worked out okay.

I understand the securities features arent up to the Windows version, though.

The nightmare was exporting the Windows data to the Mac version.

I finally had to go with only a couple of years of archives because the exported file wouldnt include all of my data.

It took about 20 hours to make sure everything was to the penny in four bank accounts and four credit card accounts.

Ive tried iBank, and Moneydance, two Mac-only personal financial programs, and while Im still using Q 2005 for Mac I would rate Moneydance as the app thats closer to being bug free and ready to take on Intuit.
