I just run Quicken Deluxe 2009 for Windows in CrossOver Office. Works
great, including online stuff. I still can't believe after all these
years that Intuit can't figure out how to have a single code-base and
file format for both the PC and Mac versions.

CrossOver is also great for running IE6 to get to OWA (Outlook Web
Access). I've read that in OWA/Exchange 2010, you can actually get to
the non-lite version in Safari and Firefox, but my company is still on
Echange 2007.

Same here, got a refund, no problem, can't print checks with it.

The very fact that there isn't a program called Quicken 2010 for
Macintosh should have stopped you in the first place. It's called
Quicken Essentials for Mac, and simply reading Intuit's description
would have saved you the time and effort. They're quite clear on which
features are lacking but present in Quicken 2007 for Macintosh, which
they're still selling. The fact that they're still selling that one is
another clue.

I'm trying to switch to another product. Since my old Quicken file went
bad late last year and I need to re-enter things anyway, this is as good
a time to do it as any.

The problem is that I want the new program to do my
checking/savings/credit-card, as well as loans, investments, and
auto-updating of balances. I'm not sure which product to use.

Me too. What's more, I can't figure out why they haven't fixed the file
format bug which has twice now required me to start a totally new
accounts file. And the second time, I'm doing it but with a different
program by a different company.
