Wow, so judgmental.

If you've been reading this newsgroup, you will know that I am not of the
highest opinion when it comes to Intuit.

However, the timeframe for a *working* new quotes system is quite
reasonable. There are several factors to consider here, among them are the
amount of time before the work starts, and the amount of time the work will
take.

Intuit's product development schedule is not empty, so that means that
projects (such as the new quote server) need to be scheduled in among
existing projects.

The problem I have with Intuit is why they left the quotes problem to
fester for so long, and why they lied about it. I have replies from
Intuit's customer service telling me that the problem was on my side, or
with my ISP, or anywhere but in Intuit's lap.

If Intuit finally fixes the quotes problem "in six months", then I'll be
happy. All I want are the features in Quicken that were promised to me
when I bought the product. And quotes is one of those features.



[btw, I do find it interesting that those people in this newsgroup who had
been trying to pin the blame on Intuit's data suppliers for the quotes
problem are now fully behind the fact that Intuit is fixing Intuit's
problem with the quotes servers.]
