Software development and support is not cheap. It takes more staff to do more things. Would you be willing to pay more for Quicken 2011? I wouldn't. While it could be better (as could pretty much everything else that I buy), it works well, and it is affordable. Just an opinion. -- Jim

I'm quoting myself, from a semi-recent thread: "If Intuit would just leave Quicken alone (i.e. no more 'improvements'), fix the bugs and offer connection services as a subscription-based model, I'd think they (and we!) would do just fine." Add some type of reasonable support, for those who need it, and you've got yourself a winner. Just another opinion. |
