Quicken for Mac OS X
I have been a Quicken user since 2001, and have grown to appreciate its usefulness for aggregating and reporting on spending and investing activities. From 2001 to 2004, I used Microsoft Windows for most of my work at home. However, in the summer of 2004 I purchased an Apple Powerbook. I have gradually ported my information from the PC to my Powerbook, with the greatest problems being my MP3 collection and Quicken.
So, in February 2005 I purchased Quicken 2005 for Mac OS X. I had read reviews on Amazon, and they weren't very flattering. Nonetheless, I figured it was worth evaluating. My immediate reaction was that the reviews were correct: it sucked. I can't import data from most of the institutions supported on the PC version. The user interface is completely different. As are the standard reports.
Two months later, I'm still using Quicken on my Powerbook simply because I don't want to be inconvenienced with balancing my life between two operating systems. But I really miss Quicken on the PC. Hopefully the Mac product will improve in future releases. In meantime, I caution anyone looking to migrate from the PC version to the Mac version.
