Funny enough you do not mention Mvelopes

A couple of month ago I was researching this issue of online budget and finance tools and discovered Mvelopes.
I mention your Quicken article and Mvelopes on 'Serge the Concierge' today.
Here is the link http://www.sergetheconcierge.com/2007/08/budget-and-pers.html

Have a great day

Ironic article timing

I found today's daily dose of Anchordesk email ironic. First, there was an article about the country of Estonia undergoing the ?first? cyberwar, the event being especially important because Estonia is one of the most wired countries in the world, and folks rely on the net for so many basic things like pumping gas and paying for food. An underlying point of the article seemed to be ?this is just the beginning.?

In the same email is the above article about how Intuit is pushing forward an internet-based version of their Quicken home banking software. Something tells me if the Intuit marketing machine could have planned this, they would NOT have allowed these two articles to be in the same email.

Online Quicken.

Let me get this straight; Intuit wants me to put my financial data on their (or an
affilate's) web site? This was probably thought up by the same people who were
so upset by President Bush's terrorist surveillance program. It's a non-starter for
me.

I have used Quicken since 1993 and the 2009 Deluxe version is the worst ever. it is advertised as Vista, but really isn't. It is very problematic as does not work the older versions of Quciken. It is not 64 bit and that is part of the problem and doesn't run well on Windows 64 bit Vista. This is not just my opinion as I have discussed this with Hewlett Packard and they confirm that they have more complaints about 2009 than any other software. When Quicken is asked if they are Vista ready the reply I get is that it is Vista Compatible. That is not the same thing as being Vista 64 bit software. They are committing fraud with the less informed customer who purchase this software with the understanding that it is on a Vista platform. C-Net needs to look into this and expose Quicken for what it really is. Not ready for prime time and a sham,
