 - quickengreat product find nothing wrong. Use as much ram as you can you can should be ok Rating: - Quicken 2008 upgradeI have used Quicken since before Windows. It has always been satisfactory; some of the modifications made from time to time have been helpful, but I have often wished I could go back and do certain things the old way. I cannot compare it with its competitors because I have never used the competitors, but Quicken is quick, neat, pretty intuitive: anybody with the most basic computer skills should be able to use the basic components effectively. Rating:  - Run away!! Run as fast as you can!As a long time user of Quicken it pains me to advise any prospective purchaser to avoid Quicken 2008 like the plague. I have just completed 4 (yes four) days of working with Quicken support, Microsoft support (Quicken claimed the problem was related to MS issues) and finally i-Yogi support. The bottom line is that I am on the way to Staples to purchase MS Money. No one can get Quicken to load after installation. Wake up intuit, you can do better. Rating:  - Good UpgradeI hate the idea that you have to upgrade Quicken every 3 years, but the new version has some significant improvements. Rating: - Quicken Premier - Good Overall Financial ManagerI upgraded from Quicken 2007 to Quicken Premier 2008, and, although the Quicken upgrade wasn't necessary, I did find a few changes in the 2008 version, like the calendar on the home page, tags, and a tab layout that shows they are trying to improve Quicken with the upgrades. I found Quicken Premier to be fairly robust overall as it has a loan calculator, and on budgeting Quicken allows you to base it on your existing spending data, which I found helpful as you got somewhere to start. The graphics and layout could be better (and I did notice some of the screen flickering mentioned in other reviews), but in terms of usefulness I found Quicken a good buy.
