I used MS Money before, since it MS is stopping support I needed to chage my software. The software works, but many of the features that made Money so simple are lacking. layout is difficult also to navigate. example, when entering a check the enter button is above the line you are working on and the bottom of the previous transaction, several times I have clicked to “enter” and open the transaction before. You can say, well be careful, but I say, lay it out so the target zone is not so critical. I also had 5 times so far when downloading from my bank that transactions did not make it to my register….NEVER happened with Money…good bye old friend

I have been a Quicken user for about a decade. I previously had Quicken 2007 installed on my PC, but since Quicken fixes it that you have to purchased a new version every 3 years if you want to download transactions from your financial institutions, it was time for an update. Quicken tends to incrementally add new features from year-to-year, so if it were not mandatory to update periodically in order to download transactions, I would probably update less frequently. For the features I regularly use, I see very difference between 2007 and 2010.
I prefer to do a clean install, so I first uninstalled my previous version of Quicken. When uninstalling, Quicken leaves behind your data files to use in the new version. This latest update process was probably the smoothest I’ve experienced. I have about 10 years of data, and Quicken 2010 converted the previous data files to the current single .qdf data file in about 5 minutes. With that, my preferences were maintained and all accounts were up-to-date.
Here are the reasons I use Quicken rather than simply rely on my online banking website:
1) convenience of having transactions and balances from all financial institutions in one place
2) ability to separate business and personal expenses
3) makes it easy to find taxable deductions without having to use additional tax programs
4) by downloading transactions every couple of days, one can get a jump start on finding fraudulent charges if they exist
5) ability to see the equity built up in my home from month-to-month
6) built in check register
Quicken also has the ability to keep track of your investments. However, if you’re an active day trader, you would be better served with a dedicated software program for tracking your securities. Perhaps Quicken has inproved its handling of stock transactions, but I found that when I was an active trader using prior versions, the balances were not accurate and suitable for use in filing your Schedule D.
With the demise of MS Money, Quicken is basically your only choice for downloading transactions to a desktop program. I would have given Quicken 2010 4 stars, but deducted a star because of the program’s built-in obsolescence after only 3 years and requirement to pay full price to update to the latest version.

I downloaded Quicken 2010 Home and Business as an update for Quicken 2009 Home and Business. The download and installation from Amazon was no problem after I downloaded the Amazon files for downloading software and games. Had a slight problem getting my old Quicken files to convert to the new version of Quicken. Ended up bypassing the installation option to convert my old files and instead used the “file/open” option after I got the software installed and that worked fine, converted my files and then I just saved that opened file. Also had a problem in that I have another program that uses the .pdf printer option and the Quicken .pdf printer settings were keeping my other software from using the .pdf printer option. I had to delete and reinstall the .pdf printer file for that other software so that it would again be first in line. Overall, this seems to be a smoother upgrade than 2009 which was a nightmare until they got all their glitches fixed. I would also add that I tried the online support from Quicken and after waiting in the print cue for 24 minutes, at 9 seconds it canceled my request and gave me a search box instead so I wouldn’t waste my time waiting in line for help.
