Is it time to upgrade to Quicken 2007? Don 08-14-2006

 Don:

1) I second John's mention of Express Web Connect, which allows Web Connect
accounts to be downloaded with One Step Update. BEST new feature.

2) Q2007 also has improved memory management, Q2006 would choke on my 21st
User ID with One Step Update, but Q2007 happily downloads 31 User IDs so
far. The extra IDs are Web Connects that are now downloaded with One Steup
Update. Pretty nifty ;-)

I've used Quicken for 16 years now. I've always loved this software
and have no issue upgrading each year. It's worth 4 times what I'm
charged for it. And I believe in supporting good software. With all
that out of the way is 2007 H&B baked and ready to go or should I hold
off? Per usual I see tons of whining out here about Quicken 2007 but I
think many of these posters whine every year about this time. So I'm
looking for real answers from folks like Mr Pollard and others that
realize nothing on the planet is perfect and that it's not a crime to
make and sell software for a profit.

Thanks,
Don

Don: I upgraded from QD2002 to QP2007. So far, so good. It's great
to have the update feature after having been sunset for over a year. I
have had a problem with the One Step Update overwhelming my CPU and
crashing Quicken; I'm hoping that there will be a fix for that or I'll
figure out why that's happening. Still, I can update everything
through the One Step Update - I just have to input my passwords in each
FI listedeach time. That's a hassle, but a small one. I don't know if
you need to upgrade (I don't do that every year, as you can see), but
this has been a good upgrade for me so far. Bill

You shouldn't have to type in the password each time for each FI in
one step update. Use the PIN vault and then just have a master
password for the vault and let Quicken remember all the other
passwords.

I'll update because I'm a strong supporter of this software albeit
Quickens isn't a 50 person company anymore. And I usually like the new
features and for the whopping $55 or so for Quicken H&B why not.

They've sent an offer to upgrade through them and to get a
copy of Quicken Willmaker for free. This is aka Nolo
Willmaker which has gotten some very good reviews. Although
upgrading through Intuit is usually more expensive, it might
be worth it to get Willmaker.

Has anyone tried Willmaker? How does it do on the medical
proxy type stuff?

I have used Willmake for a couple of years and found it an excellent
product. I have done it for my wife and I and her parents making both
wills and living trusts. Thankfully I have not yet seen how any of
these documents hold up, but it was easy enough to do. I would,
however, suggest buying the companion Nolo book on the topic so that
you can feel some confidence in what you are doing.
