 Adware, 2004-12-31
This version of Quicken seems to me to be Adware. On just about every screen, the program presents the user with advertising for additional services or software upgrades that Intuit wants to sell you. There is no way to remove the advertising from the view.

Bugs!, 2004-12-23
Haven't seen anyone mention yet....reported them to Intuit, might as well have just told my cat....
1. When I click Backup, up comes an installer message apparently trying to install Quicken's online backup and another popup saying you must exit Quicken first. Have to click both several times to make them go away. Does this on both Win2K & XP. On my old Win2K system I finally gave in to the nagging, closed the program and let the installer run. All it did was hang the system. And the popups continued.
2. Autofill can't get upper and lower case right when filling in payee
3. On startup, first up comes a "Quicken Update" window asking "Would you like to update Quicken now?" Letting it run does nothing noticeably useful. It has a box to check, "Never update on Quicken startup again, which you'd think should make this nuisance stop appearing. It does nothing.
Intuit, of course, is more interested in inventing overpriced extra-cost features than in fixing bugs. Sure wish there was some better competition for the most important application I use.

 Fabulous tool for gaining an in-depth finance perspective, 2004-12-17
Understand exactly how much you have, how much you will have, how much you'll pay in taxes, how your stock options are doing, everything. I've used both Money and Quicken and must tell you that Quicken surpasses Money in power and capability.

Stay away -- from a former loyal customer, 2004-12-02
I have purchased annual upgrades of Quicken since the earliest releases.
This year, they have discontinued QIF import support. Fine. Most banks provide transaction data in OFX format. But Quicken has eliminated transaction imports altogether... unless you bank pays Intuit a fee.
I have lost countless hours of effort since my upgrade. Back-migration is not possible, and Intuit is unwilling to provide suitable tools.
I am leaving Intuit Quicken and Turbotax forever. I suggest you stay away also

2005 - Giant Step Backwards -- Buyers Beware, 2004-11-08
Not only has Intuit forced a data format change which many banks won't support (and therefore you can no longer download either auotmatically or by importing a QIF file), they have changed the bill pay provider which has messed up many, many data files and bank accounts including mine.
While they answer the phone and web as "Quicken Bill Pay" they are a separate entity who tried to resolved why my payments were not updating. They had me run the "one-time" transition program everyday when I called in. After 4 days of this I called Quicken Technical Support. After 3 phone calls of 1 hour each including a call dropped, their off-shore call center advised me I would have to revert back to my Quicken 2004 version and LOOSE ALL THE DATA that had transpired since the update. All my end-of-month reconciles, payments, bank downloads were to be forever lost.
To add insult to injury, the Tech Support person said I should have never proceeded to use Quicken 2005 without calling support. Since I had been calling Quicken Bill Pay support for 5 days in row, this was both an unintelligent and insulting thing to say to a customer.
Luckily, it is the end of the year. I will no longer use Quicken Bill Pay, leave my data in Quicken 2005 and migrate to MS Money at the end of December.
Quicken looses a 10+ year customer who will also migrate all his friends to MS Money that he has installed and maintains on Quicken over the years.
